East-Eurotrip

I came to Montenegro after all, and I'm glad I did. I came to a small resort city on the south of Montenegro called Budva. I called before to the local hostel (the only hostel in whole of Montenegro, that's why I chose to come here - if there is an hostel, it must be a good place to stay), but they had no vacancies, so I decided to just come and find a place when I arrive.

On the bus station I met a girl who offered room at their house, and I took it and slept there for two nights. I was lucky to go with her, because it turned out that she (Maja, read as Maia in english) was very friendly, and we ended up having long conversations about lots of things. She lives with her mother in a somewhat small flat, but very homy and cozy, and rent two rooms in the summer to get some extra money.

About Budva - the two main attractions here are the beach, and a nice but somewhat small old city. The old city here was rebuilt after an earthquake some 200 or so years ago, and looks very new and clean for an old city... almost too good to be real. The beaches are nice, filled with locals and tourists (a lot of russians come here). One swedish old guy told me some days ago, that the montenegrian girls are considered the most beautiful in the world. They are indeed very beautiful, but for some odd reason, the only women you see bathing topless here are old ugly women, who should wear as many clothes as possible...

Today I went to a nearby city called Svet Stefan. It had some more nice beaches, a nice old city used for hotels on an island connected to the mainland. I didn't go though to the old city there, because they charge 7 euros to enter, and Maja told me it's not worth the money.
I also rented a motor boat today in Budva and sailed alone for an hour. It's really great, maybe I'll do it some more in Israel.

Trivia fact - did you know Montenegro got it's independence only in June this year (2006) ? Before it was united with Serbia, but now it's independent and already part of the EU.

That's it, tomorrow I'm going back to Israel. See you all in a couple of days (well, at least the Israelis who are reading this)
