To Budva and Back Again...

So... Spent a night in Ostag... In a monestary... Interesting...

It was a strict schedule with lights out at 10:30... The guy/monk in training next to us spent his last half hour awake dancing and singing to techno beats... Um, so not monk like. Stayed six to a room. One of our roomates set our alarm an hour early, so we were up at the crack of dawn, or at dawns crack, as the aussies would say... Sickos.

Now in Budva, at 28 degrees, swimming in the Adriatic with floaties we paid way too many Euros for, surrounded by a plethora of ˝banana hammocks˝ or speedos for the politically correct. Who knew Montenegrian men were so harry?

This place is ridiculously beautiful: surrounded by mountains, palm trees, and sun. The water is blue blue blue, and the pizza and tacky tourists buys are plentiful. What more can you ask for?

Im tanned, and Heather with her +50 sunscreen is getting there...

Glad to hear what a wonderful time you two are having. Just got back from camping...not as glamorous but it was a vacation. How are the clothes holding out? Too many or too little. Can't wait to hear more!!!
