Day 6:

This morning was an early one! We had to be up and ready at around 7:15AM in order to head down to the meeting point for our day trip to Montenegro!

Montenegro is known as “the world’s newest country” according to my LonelyPlanet “Europe on a shoestring 2008″ guide book and most people that I’ve met have never even heard of it! This small country lies just south east of Croatia and in May of 2006 it finally gained it’s independence from the union of Serbia for the first time since 1916!

Our tour driver picked us up at around 7:45AM in front of the Dubrovnik fire station and we made a quick loop around the hill side to pick up a few others. Luckily just before we picked up the last few people Liz reminded me that I needed my passport! Thank god she reminded me because I would have been sitting at the border of Croatia and Montenegro all day while everyone else spent the day in Montenegro! I let the driver know that I had forgotten my passport and he let me run back up to the apartment real quick before we headed off for the day. (more…)
