I decided to break up these posts, as looking through the photos it's clear these are big experiences. The taxi driver deposited us at an open seating outdoor restaurant with a very amicable owner and host, and we had a big feast (you get the feeling that everyone sort of knows everyone--so the taxi driver has a friend that owns a nice restaurant in Ulcinj, and he takes us there. But everyone wins. The owner is great to us. We get great service. The taxi driver had nothing going on and does the right thing: instead of gouging us, he says "give me a few bucks for gas, no worries." Man. Good stuff.
We ate and then reserved a room at this normally high dollar inn on a cliff overlooking the Aegean Sea. But it's off-season for tourists (October) and they are basically empty except some British couple we saw in the morning for the catered breakfast. So we got it for like a third of the usual price. It was awesome! Oh, I should say too, it was about I dunno maybe five miles away from the restaurant, much of it along this winding road lit by the moon glittering off the sea below (seriously), and we walked. Double awesome.
Nice.
Sweet.
That's the adventures of Sherlock Holmes. I was actually reading that for ideas on a part of my book. I left it there somehow and re-bought the same book back in Podgorica.
Superb.
I remember that it was just silent outside in the air. Maybe a bird would chirp. You couldn't really hear the waves against the rock islands out there. The air was that wonderful sea air. Listen, if you want to do this trip, leave in October or November. The weather will be fantastic, and I'll get you the contact info for this inn on the sea. Haggle with the management for a sec, and end up spending $40 a night for a $400 suite complete with free breakfast as much as you can eat and the best views you'll find anywhere. Just lemme know.
