I love public buses. No, wait, that’s a complete lie. I love public buses in countries that aren’t the UK. I get a lot of joy out of using public transport whilst travelling but if I’ve got to do it back home I find it overpriced and unreliable. Y’know, all those things I don’t give a flying fuck about when I’m off on my jollies. But I do love exploring new places by public transport and I do…

Risan

The weather continues to be shit, but it's not raining and it's my last day in Montenegro, so to Risan we go!

Very nice Roman mosaics!

I almost gave up my idea to go to Perast (though very sadly, since it seems like the prettiest location in the bay), but then! I see a local bus, ask the driver if he goes to Perast and he does! Yay!

This really, really looks like a town on Lake Garda. Strangest feeling. Very beautiful though, even in this cloudy day.

SO MANY British tourists today (also I had an exchange with a couple of them at the bus station and one of them asked me where Podgorica was after seeing it as a destination on a bus. And I was like... it's the capital of Montenegro. And his wife "oh, I thought that was Budva!". I mean... How do you travel to a country and not know the name of its capital?!)

The sun came out! Ah! The sea/lake looks so different now!

Tonight's my last night in Montenegro, and though I said that the seaside was too far away and downhill and I wouldn't go there again, I couldn't resist to get a last look of the more sea-like spot in the Kotor bay.

And wow, I'm so glad I did? There's wind, and waves, and the sound and smell of the sea is everywhere.

I just sit on a bench, reading, listening to the waves crashing for almost an hour.

I notice a building on the promenade with the name of the city written on the front; and it does kinda look like a train station... because it was! This very long, very gently sloping promenade along the sea was a railway!

Mixed feelings about this: of course it's lovely that you can walk right by the sea, but... railway :( I guess Montenegro is no different from most countries in Europe, prematurely dismantling railways that might have been lovely in today's rail renaissance. (Strange that I didn't read about this while researching the current railway system - oh, I looked it up and it was actually an Austria-Hungarian railway from Herzegovina to thw bay of Kotor. But apparently there are other dismantled branches of the Montenegrin railway system, and I wish I knew before)

Last night in Montenegro, and I guess it's finally time for a fish dinner XD I am on the coast after all XD

I got a fish broth, very nice, and then grilled squid and it was the best squid I have ever tasted (my mum told me to try it even if I don't usually like it because the way they cook it in this area is very good, and she was right). I also tried a local grappa (wine brandy, apparently) because it felt... unfinished not trying it, but it tasted like Italian grappa. So I didn't like it XD

While I was leaving the restaurant I heard some singing coming from the square, and it was a choir! They only did two songs, but it was magical anyway.
