Today we went to Budva on business. As free time appeared, we decided to take a walk to the Old Town. We haven’t really been in it yet, and it should be no less interesting there than in the Old Town of Kotor. The streets in the same Venetian style - the same narrow and dark - it is very easy to get lost in them!
They say that the Old Town was very badly damaged by the 1979 earthquake (along with the Bay of Kotor), but now it has been completely restored. At least that's how it seemed to me. The streets are slowly flooding with joyful tourists who, as if by agreement, walk around in shorts and T-shirts, while the locals still walk around in sweatshirts. In the city center, near two churches, there is a street cafe with swings - it's very nice, basking in the sun, swinging on them and drinking sour Montenegrin lemonade 🙂
When we were already leaving the Old City, we accidentally saw a stand with an advertisement for Chinese tea. We decided to check whether they really sell real Chinese tea there, otherwise, you know, this is a problem here, you won’t find good tea with fire during the day. It turned out that they really sell real Chinese tea there! The shop was opened by our compatriots, who are aware of the needs of Russian emigrants. They only work for a few months, while the demand is low, but this is because not everyone knows about them yet. The owner of the shop arranges a free tea ceremony for his visitors - tea of your choice. At this time, he will tell you and show you how this ceremony should take place and what are the features of brewing different types of tea. We spent half an hour there and left, of course, with a few bags of tea)) The prices are correspondingly higher than in Russia, there is no competition .. But what can you do, Ja mnogo volim čaj!
