The Balkans

Spent the day in Belgrade yesterday, fely great to be on the road again, probably stayed in Greece a bit too long. Didnt help the weather was pretty cool.

The people in Belgrade and now in Montenegro have been fantastic, really friendly and helpful. the train stations actually have timetables ... in english too... yippee! How easy is that!

the sleeper was fun, albeit exhausting as kept being woken up in the middle of the night to go in and out of immigration posts!

Got to Bar on a Sunday, everthing shut! Decided to move on. caught the bus up the coast to Sveti Stefan and Budva, beautiful stretch of coastline with old fort cities and beautiful bays. Great weather here too, much warmer than Greece.

Spent a couple of days in Kotor where we did some hill walking and climbed around the old city walls.... got down off the hill to great red wine and pizza! fait to say weve sampled our fair share of red wine in the last month and its all been pretty good! Mikes been on a bit of a beer tasting also!

Moved on to Dubrovnik in Croatia, nice old walled city, then caught the boat today to Korcula island. Were going to spend a couple of days here before heading up to Hvar then up the coast to get to Italy.

Excuse dodgy spelling... computer keyboard proving to be a challenege with letters all the wrong way round... promise we.ll try and post some pics soon.
