CAMELOT FANTASIES

Perast is a little village in the Bay of Kotor. The main attraction are 2 islands which can be reached by boat from the small harbor in Perast. One of the islands is an artificial one with a beautiful Orthodox church. It can be visited. The other islands also has an old church on it which - as far as I remember - also served as prison. It isn't open to the public.

Back in Croatia, we visited Dubrovnik.
This city is just too beautiful for words. It was extremely hot when we arrived but we still couldn't resist climbing up the city walls.











Anyway, that's it from my Balkan trip this summer. 

I'm flying back to Dubrovnik soon but I won't have much time to spend there. 

My friend wanted to kill me when I texted her the license plate of the guy saying: "I'm going on a little road trip with someone. Here's his license plate in case I don't come back". Fortunately everything went just fine. He visited me in October and now I'm going back there. My little adventure seems to have turned into a really good friendship. Hahaha.

Croatia is beautiful indeed. It has so much to offer and there is still so much that I haven't seen yet. I want to return one day with a rental car so that I can stop at all the picturesque places. It sucks when you are travelling by bus and see so many lovely landscapes passing you by without getting the opportunity to get off the bus to take a picture.

I like travelling alone from time to time because it allows me to meet a lot of people who can tell me something about their country or take me to places where I haven't been yet. Obviously I don't always get on strangers' cars in the middle of the night. I prefer walking tours by locals and meeting people in public places. Actually when I was in the Balkans, my friend had to return home for some days (she lives in Croatia but a little more in the North close to the Italian border) and left me alone. I had lots of fun anyway because I could go wherever I wanted without her complaining and asking me to let her sleep a bit longer or spend a bit more time with her on the beach. She is also the only friend that I can actually go on holidays with. Last year I was in Spain with another friend and she was really driving me insane. She wanted to save money so every single day of our 10-days trip we ended up eating spaghetti and tomato sauce for lunch and dinner. Obviously she also didn't want to spend money on public transportation. It was fine with me because I'm used to walking. Unfortunately she wasn't so I basically had to put up with someone complaining day and night about blisters and leg pain. As soon as I got back home, I didn't just go to the Chinese takeaway and bought rice with seafood, I also thought about where to go next because I needed a vacation from my so-called vacation.

Let's see if I can visit many places while I'm in Bosnia. I will just be there for a few days but there are many beautiful villages and national parks close to where my friend lives. I also want to return to Mostar because there are some places which I haven't really seen yet. It was just to hot in summer to walk around for too long.

the great Nikkster just took over all of Camelot with all those stunning pictures.

wow. just.


I just looked at all those pictures over and over again.




and now I remember why you are headed to Bosnia. that is where Mostar is.
