Guest blog: From Dubrovnik to Thessaloniki

Saturday and guest blog with Elisabeth Haug

From Dubrovnik to Safari Beach, 16 kilometres. It should be pretty quick, we thought. Just blow down. NOT 🙂 We got stuck at the border crossing between Croatia and Montenegro. Nice to have a motorhome, I went to bed and read, Elias walked around in the car. The road further was under all criticism, we drove for about 45 km on European roads, luckily there were fantastic views and much to see during the journey. We passed Sveti Stefan and many nice cities.

Camping Naluka - cosy campsite in the Bay of Kotor

For two days we have been hanging out at a nice campsite in the Bay of Kotor in Montenegro. When driving around the Bay of Kotor you see quite a few camping signs, but most "campsites" are private gardens with such steep driveways that it can't even be considered, unless you are a backpacker with a tent. But eventually we found camping Naluka in Morinj.

The Unesco town of Kotor in Montenegro

Kotor is located deep in the Bay of Kotor in Montenegro. The city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and recently the number of tourists coming here has increased every year. Many of them come on the big cruise ships that dock in the bay. Kotor is a really charming old town and one of the first things you notice is the large walls that ring the mountain above the town. We immediately wondered ... can you get up there?

Around the beautiful Bay of Kotor in Montenegro

Both yesterday and today we have travelled around the Bay of Kotor in Montenegro. The Bay of Kotor is a bay with several bays in the northern part of the west coast. There are car roads around the entire bay, usually right next to the water, and it is fantastically beautiful to drive here. The mountains are dizzyingly high, the countryside is lushly green and the houses are small and picturesque. The landscape is a bit like Norway actually, but with a warmer climate.

Grocery shopping abroad is fun and exciting! We have previously written about grocery stores and food culture in France, Portugal, Spain and Italy. Shopping for food in the Balkans is also interesting ... but different!

Northwards along the coast of Montenegro

Today we have continued the journey north along the coast of Montenegro. It has actually rained intensively and been a little cooler today, that is, around 23 degrees. After several hot summer months, it's almost nice! We have made slow progress and have been fascinated by the high mountains, which are everywhere surrounded by dense fog.

Safari camping in Ulcinj, Montenegro

We are now at Safari camping in Ulcinj in Montenegro. We have today rolled into Montenegro, from Albania. We drove across the border south of Lake Shkoder and the first thing we saw was a landscape with high mountains, narrow roads, luxurious villas and some vineyards. Now we have made it to a campsite by a long sandy beach.
