Montenegro

First stop in Montenegro was Herceg Novi, a quite pleasant little place with an old town 'Stari grad' that is walled, giving a nice feel to the place. There are a couple of nice churches, nice views of the sea and some nice places to eat/drink in the centre. Stayed just for a while and moved on the the popular tourist resort of Budva.

Beautiful views of mountains as you sit on he pebbled beach next to the water. A picturesque start to 3 days in and around Budva. It's rather touristy but not so packed so as to be annoying. The old town 'Stari Grad' is another impressive walled old town full of winding paths lined with boutiques run by the most sexiest women you can hope to see. Virtually every shop has some beautiful, modelesque lady running them, it's a long time since I did so much browsing around clothes shops ;-) There are also plenty of cafes and restaurants around to eat and drink and also the British style 'Old Fisherman's pub' which was a bit of a favourite for watching football.
