Went on a tour around Montenegro with Natalie and saw some pretty varied sights! Geographically its such a buffet, down on the coast it looks similar to south-central British Columbia while up north near the mountains almost gives off a Nordic vibe. Although their mountains aren’t as tall as the Rockies, size isn’t everything. They are pretty different looking with vast passes and meadows in between.

Learned more about the history of the country including a monastery built into a cliff, a mausoleum on top of a mountain that made me nerd tweak a bit since I felt I was in the middle of Skyrim and some spirited driving on some less-wide roads.

I’m in Zabljak with Natalie right now and wish I could stay another night. Its such a prime spot for outdoor activities and hiking, loving it. Although its only 2000 people its classified as a city. The hostel owners here couldn’t keep a straight face wondering how Austria has 20000 person villages but Montenegro has 2000 person cities. Especially when cows just were walking down the front street.
