Montenegro was the last country on our tour of the Balkans. Translating to 'Black Mountain'', the country shares a common history with nearby Serbia of being conquered by different empires over the centuries, due to its geographic location as the crossroads of 'East and West'. Our interest in visiting this country was the UNESCO listed Bay of Kotor. In order to reach this site, we flew from Belgrade to the Montenegrin capital of Podgorica and booked a private transfer to the coastal (party) town of Budva. In the height of summer, this town was buzzing with super-yachts and electronic music pounding the centuries old fortress walls.
