Montenegro/Albania/Croatia

[Tallinnbantam]

Just come back from a 3 week holiday to these places. Really recommend Montenegro - beautiful mountainous scenary (Estonia's highest "mountain" is 130metres tall, so we were a bit spoilt!) - friendly people and nice cheap prices. Still pretty much undiscovered by the Brits, so mostly Serbs, Bosnians and Russians visit.

Albania. Again, beautiful scenary in the countryside. Tirana the capital is a real 80's timewarp, with lots of communist leftovers. 1 euro a beer and friendly people who are generally happy that you are visiting your country.

Croatia is a lot more touristy than the other places. First time we heard Brit, Aussie and and US voices. The prices reflect this - 6 euro a beer and mass produced tourist lunch menus prevail. Great scuba diving though and a really nice old town.

Would definately visit Montenegro again, and might combine it with a trip to Serbia next time.

From the age of about 10 till 14 we went on family holidays to the then Yugoslavia a couple of times a year and loved it - we stayed mainly in the Croatian area but visited Montenegro and it was beautiful, cheap as owt i remember too - those were the days before the conflicts tho when it was a peaceful place held together by Tito, we once stayed in a little place called Ulcinj (i think it was called) right by the Albanian border, that place looked scary as fook, it was when the border was closed, the locals said that Albanians tried all the time to "escape" via the sea into Yugoslavia and were often shot and killed trying to do so!!...:eek:

But have you been to Hawaii and sipped cocktails on Waikiki beach?:)

[Macca Ha Ha Ha]

No but I played my guitar sitting on the dock of a bay surrounded by birds - bloody seagulls can be a nuisance
