A Portrait of Montenegro
Annotated photographs
Last week I went on holiday to Montenegro. It’s a tiny country that’s part of the former Yugoslavia, nestled between Croatia and Bosnia to the north, Serbia and Kosovo to the east, and Albania to the south. To the west are the shimmering waters of the Adriatic Sea.
The roads are narrow and occasionally bumpy. They hug the twists and turns of the black mountains that are the connective tissue between towns. I kept a journal during my adventures there, but haven’t yet had time to transcribe the impressions I had. However, I did take many pictures and thought they might speak for themselves. I hope you enjoy them.
It’s a long way to the top if you wanna rock n’ roll.
It’s also a long way down if you’re a dumbass and fall over the edge.
The drive from Kotor to the airport in Podgorica, the capital, took us about 1 hour and 30 minutes. On the way, we passed through a 4km tunnel that took us on the other side of the mountain range where we were surprised to discover it had snowed. This was back at Lake Skadar.
If you’re interested in reading some kind of compilation of my journal entries, let me know in the comments. Cheers.
