Easter in Montenegro

Montenegrins, like Russians, celebrate Easter. Today we went out into the street - everything is closed (except for the cafe). The familiar phrase "Christ is risen" is often heard on the radio. The weather cleared up a bit, and we decided to take a walk around the Old Town. Walking past the church...

Holiday dinner

Today we went to Bar. Now, knowing the road and all the available bumps, we reach it in an hour. On a serpentine road, you can’t accelerate much, and often there are law enforcement officers at the corners who will be happy to stop you ...

mail chest

Today we went to the local post office - we want to get ourselves a PO box. We say “we need a poshtansko sanduche” (as our Russian-Serbian phrasebook indicated to us), and the worker shows us to the box where letters are thrown off. In general, they somehow explained that ...

What kind of animal is this "horde"?

Return to Njegusi, Montenegro

Friends from England came to visit us today. We decided to take them to the Cattaro stairs. At first it was overcast and raining, but then it cleared up. We went to the village of Negushi. How much she has changed in those two weeks...
