OK.
confession: I am obsessed with james bond.
Daniel Craig is clearly my fave ... he looks like JB I tell ya.
So do you remember Casino Royale's Montenegro gambling scenes?
I obviously did. So off we went to Montenegro.
Then we discovered, once there, that much of the scenes that said "montenegro" were actually filmed elsewhere. But these mountains below apparently made the movie. famous mountains!
When you pass into the border you get a much different feel, not the prettified croatia we had been used to.
And even though it rained most of our visit, Montenegro still has a gorgeous landscape.
and good wine & cheese (:

| JB bought a 1 billion dollar yugoslavian dollars ... for a Euro. The antique market in Budva was one of my favorite stops! |
{that little bug i'm wearing... oh he deserves an upclose shot and a story! coming soon (: }
With love from Russia (:

Wow it looks so beautiful there! I love how you're showing us places that are less touristy and lesser known to most North Americans. When we lived in Holland, there were always commercials for Montenegro Tourism, and it looked so beautiful. Don't you love how you were billionaires there?!
ReplyDeletegorgeous landscape, cheese, wine and your hubs? Obviously you had an amazing time!
ReplyDeleteps. I've never seen a james bond movie. don't hate me?
Beautiful pictures!!!!!!

okay, not i'm just vacationing through your images, amazing, keep it coming! jaja
ReplyDeleteIn case you hadn't heard, Casino Royale's casino in "Montenegro" is actually the Grand Hotel Pupp in Karlovy Vary, Czech Republic. I highly recommend it. Could be your next travel destination?
