Ooooohhh, so cold! We went off driving into the surrounding mountains today and finally found our white wonderland! Not far out of Budva in the surrounding hills we crossed the snowline. We went on to Cetinje, a charming town but covered in snow (not literally) and rather treacherous to walk around in. We did our best for a while. The highlight was seeing a lovely gentleman in a Santa suit coming towards us. He was real!!! A real long white beard and the closest thing to a real Santa I’ve ever seen!! He walked up to us and I thought he was going to object to us taking his photo…he didn’t, he handed us a lolly each and went on his merry way….how special was that!!
We then found a place to eat…nothing special, just a Pizza place and then headed off back to Budva given the slippery roads and the early descent of darkness. Oh so cold walking back to our apartment. We stopped on the way and booked a table for NYE dinner, back past the square where they are setting up for an NYE happening, then home to warm up before we venture out again to dine tonight…in what we are told is a very nice restaurant. I’m now having a warming glass of wine, Ariane is rugged up in blankets and Hammy is snoring!
Ciao for now!
