We took another day trip to the cities of Kotor and Budva in Montenegro. While there was no war damage to be seen the country did look very poor. Kotor was nice to see and we had a good lunch at a local restaurant (an Italian one as it was the only one open.) The waiter there was trying hard to impress us with his skills and that was sometimes funny – when he dropped the soda and made a mess, etc. We then went to Budva which was very cold, windy and didn’t have much there.
Budva is trying to make itself into a 5 star resort town, but the buildings and everything else looks more like a 1 star (at best.) We waited outside for about 40 minutes for our driver and were just glad to get into the warm car and head back to the hotel. On the way back we did take a quick ferry as a short-cut rather than drive hours through the mountains as we did on the way there.
I don’t think I would ever go back to Budva, but Kotor was nice.
