As is my want, my plan for my first morning in a new city is to join a walking tour. However, I should start with a comment on the weather – it is absolutely freezing! Yes, the Goose is coming into its own, but today I could have done with mittens and a hat as…

Yesterday (Saturday) we went on a day trip. I had booked a small group trip for my brother and I to visit the North of Serbia, in particular: Krusedol Monastery, Sremski Karlovci, Petrovaradin Fortress, and Novi Sad. It turns out our “group” was us, 3 Spaniards, the guide and the driver! We drove for about…

What a difference a day makes. So, yesterday it was a beautiful sunny day in Belgrade and I decided to make the most of it by having a delightful breakfast outside (a Serbian pancake filled with egg and cheese so huge I could not finish it) and joining a walking tour. My plan for Belgrade…

So, I have had a rather uninteresting couple of days from a blog perspective because I have been either travelling or trying to hide from a developing cold… However, to bring you up to date, I caught (the same) bus from Kotor back to Podgorica and am excited to report that: (i) the driver did…

I was expecting the Bay of Kotor to be lovely, and well, it has lived up to its reputation. I mentioned previously how lovely Kotor Old Town is, but now I have spent more time here (and it has stopped raining!). I am going to go on about this some more. Yesterday, I started (as…

I shall start this post in the most British of ways by writing about the weather. Yesterday was forecast to be a lovely sunny day, and perhaps my last “good” weather day for a while… The whole of my time in Montenegro (other than yesterday) is forecast to be grey and rainy. It’ll also be…

This morning (Monday), we crossed the border back into Albania – still no stamp, so I will never know what it looks like (sigh). I did, however, remember to take some photos to demonstrate the loveliness of Albania: Our final stop on the tour is the small hilltop town of Kruje. This is the most…

Today, we set off from Skopje and drove the short distance to Kosovo (no stamp, sadly, but I am definitely here!). Kosovo is the newest county in Europe (partially recognised – more on this below) and is one of the few modern examples where a rebel group wanting independence actually won. So, Kosovo shares a…

Yesterday, I set off on something I have never done before, no, not 3 countries in 4 days (although that is also going to happen), but a “private tour.” One of the downsides of travelling in low(ish) season is that not many other people come, and therefore, I could not join other small group trips.…

Yesterday morning, I packed up and caught the train back to the airport for my flight to Tirana. I had a very easy journey back to Bucharest, and then I changed trains to take the express out to the airport (which was packed, hot but a much fancier train than I am accustomed to). My…
