Hi, here are some snaps of the first part of my summer holiday in July to the Western Balkans, the small but beautiful nation of Montenegro.
After flying to dubrovnik in Croatia, it is but a short drive to the Montenegrin border and from there we take a short ferry trip across the mouth of the Bay of Kotor which will be our base for the week. From the ferry... image hosted on flickr ![]() 2011-07-09-12-38-18_1000000257 by Mjones56, on Flickr The Venetian town of Perast shimmers in the bay, more from there later. image hosted on flickr ![]() 2011-07-09-12-40-32_1000000259 by Mjones56, on Flickr After another short drive, we arrive at our home for the week and admire the views across the bay to Kotor town. image hosted on flickr ![]() 2011-07-09-16-42-38_1000000264 by Mjones56, on Flickr image hosted on flickr ![]() 2011-07-09-16-40-26_1000000262 by Mjones56, on Flickr image hosted on flickr ![]() 2011-07-09-18-28-38_1000000268 by Mjones56, on Flickr Plenty more to come, hope you enjoy!

Once over the top the scenery changes and we soon arrive in the village of Njegusi, known in Montenegro for its ham and cheese.

Then after a nice drive through the mountains we descend into The historic heart of the Montenegrin nation. The old royal capital of Cetinje is little more than a large village but is home to former embassies, parliament, monastery and other trappings of its former status.

Joined to the mainland by just a spit of land, the presque-ile was converted to a luxury resort in the 1950s before closing with the tourism crash that accompanied the early 90s Yugoslav wars of succession. image hosted on flickr ![]() 2011-07-11-12-27-54_1000000363 by Mjones56, on Flickr

We meander down to the coast, past the resort of Budva and hit the beach at Sveti Stefan. Disappointingly the village itself is now only accessible by guests staying there
But there were enough good views and enough clear water to fill a couple of afternoons sunbathing ![]() image hosted on flickr ![]() 2011-07-11-13-17-29_1000000365 by Mjones56, on Flickr image hosted on flickr ![]() 2011-07-11-15-13-30_1000000370 by Mjones56, on Flickr image hosted on flickr ![]() 2011-07-11-15-13-44_1000000371 by Mjones56, on Flickr image hosted on flickr ![]() 2011-07-14-11-42-10_1000000450 by Mjones56, on Flickr image hosted on flickr ![]() 2011-07-14-11-33-39_1000000443 by Mjones56, on Flickr

Most of these churches and „Venetian“ towns are in fact heritage of once thriving but today vanished Croats of Boka Kotorska. Since we had to give it up, at least it's good to see it ended up in the hands of Montenegrins who are becoming our best pals as we speak
![]() Thanks Mr Jonesy, guess this is your little boy?
