I have long wanted to write about how we live in Montenegro in the fall. November has gradually arrived - in my hometown it has long been below zero and there is snow, and in Montenegro we can barely put on jackets and light jackets. Daytime temperatures range from +15 to +23. Here, in the Bay of Kotor, there are sunny days and there are rains. The rains can be very heavy, it can rain all day, the cloud cover is so low that you can’t see the mountain opposite. Recently we were driving a car to Cetinje, we drove into a cloud, we had to drive at a speed of 30 km/h - we could barely see the rear lights of the car moving in front. There are winds, but not often, once a week there is a chilly windy day.
Today we spent the day on the green peninsula of Lustica, drove along the beaches of Zhanitsa, Mirishte, Plavi Horizonti - they look deserted, like any beach in winter, a storm carries dirt ashore, everything is closed, cafes are not open, occasionally there are people walking passers-by
What I remember most today is the meeting with our compatriots who swam (!) on Mirishte beach. From a conversation with them, I learned that this is not the first time they are vacationing in Montenegro, like many others, and they love to return here. It was interesting to watch how the locals collected ripe olives, knocking them off the tree with a stick - I had never seen how olives were collected before. In general, now unprocessed olives are sold in bags in markets, similar to how potatoes are sold in Russia after harvesting :)
