We stopped by and bought a juicer - we will drink our own orange juice.
An interesting episode happened to us today. In Montenegro, cars are required to drive with low beams on. Our "old lady" does not have the function of automatic headlights, and I regularly forget to turn them on during the daytime. In Budva, we stood at a traffic light. Suddenly, a man ran out of a car in front of us and, with a piece of paper in his hands, headed towards us. I don’t even know what mixture of languages he used to get through to me, but it turned out that he, seeing our non-local numbers, warned that we would face a fine of 30 euros for driving with the headlights off - he just got the same one himself, and the paper was a form for payment of the fine. Just amazing willingness to help! A few words about fines. We almost got a fine on the first day on the way from the port. We were caught by a local officer for exceeding the speed limit by 15 kilometers. After short negotiations in a mixture of Serbian, English and Russian, having learned that we were tourists and had just arrived and did not know that the speed limit was only 50 km / h, the kind policeman asked why we took the car and let us go. In general, even for such a minor violation, we were entitled to a fine of 30 euros. It looks like they have the minimum fee 🙂
In one of my earlier posts, I wrote that we did not manage to get to the market, which works on Saturdays near the walls of old Kotor. So this morning we were there! I have never seen such markets. These are not at all the markets that we have, where they sell imports from Uzbekistan and China. See photos - they speak for themselves. Merchants - most of them sell products of their own production or catch - according to a completely Eastern tradition, they invite buyers. We entertain them by trying to buy their products the Serbian way, and even haggling! On the shelves are olives and black olives in various sauces, olive oil, cheeses, eggs, vegetables (carrots are already their own, fresh, with tops - unlike the store, it has a great smell! Peppers, which are called paprika here, are also local, strawberries, all kinds of greens and much more) - in general, a real paradise for gourmets. The culmination of shopping is the stalls with fresh fish and other seafood - they bought trout for dinner - they catch it here - for 5 euros per kilogram! The seller gutted it himself, we just have to salt and season it with rosemary bought here. In the evening we will roast it on the grill.
