Montenegro
Driving into the Bay of Kotor
4, 5, 6 July 2015
We took over an hour to cross the border into Montenegro. Then it was driving through Saturday morning traffic during holiday time. We had heard that the Bay of Kotor was spectacular and that is where we headed. It is a huge fjord with deep clear, clean water.
We passed the town of Kotor on our way around the Bay to our autokamp. It was a great spot with spectacular views and clear water which was great for a swim anytime. Water temperature of 24°C, less than 30cm tides and no threats in the water, so swimming out some distance was quite inviting. With temperatures on the land over 30°C the water was the right place to be.

We are now going to Albania and then maybe a short stint in Greece. We have heard there may be problems getting diesel and euros from ATMs in Greece. So we will take euros cash from Montenegro and fill up with diesel before leaving Albania. We can travel 1400kms with a full fuel of load. That will get us through Greece and on to Macedonia.

View from our campsite with the water only metres away. Hard to leave.
We headed further down the coast passing other tourist towns including picyuresque Sveti Stefan before crossing into Albania after lunch.
High rise holiday apartments typical of the Adriatic coast.

Sveti Stefan was once an island...now basically a hotel complex.
