Leaving Kosovo into Montenegro


As we had some time up our sleeve we decided to stay in Peje another night but we had to change rooms because someone had booked the posh room we were in. Not a big deal to be honest apart from later at night when there appeared to be a rave going on in the cafe opposite, unfortunately our new room overlooked it , pleased I was not !
Apart from that a pleasant day exploring the town which has a thriving cafe culture, loads of youngsters spending money on Coffee and unfortunately some begging from less fortunate people,  unlike the UK where begging seems to be a job, here it a necessity to stay alive, sad.
Nice toon
lightning,  thunder
watching the time
kids brightening the place up


In the morning a guy noticed my Norton T shirt and spoke to me, transpires he had taken a photo of a 961 at a bike meeting in England, he wasn't a biker but was interested in the bikes .Transpires him, his wife and their friend were doctors working with Refugees in Oman and they were here for a colleagues wedding.  You meet the most pleasant people when you have a Norton.

The run was mountainous,  nice, first the Kosovo exit and the probably 5 miles after the Montenegro border which was jointly manned by an Italian finance policeman working on behalf of the EU , no doubt getting Montenegro ready for accession into the EU in 2028. We bought insurance,  10 euro each for 15 days and then eventually rolled into a town for a Coffee.

Our digs for the night was in a campsite with rooms, more like a fish farm with rooms! The last 12 miles were challenging , a single track road with big drops if you got it wrong but slowly slowly, we got here safely 🙏
Once again a good choice from Mrs Rondelli
a beer to calm down
Nice place
Nice scenery

I decided to update again because if I leave it too long it takes ages, so look upon this as a bonus edition, free with every packet of cornflakes 

Keeping on Keeping on
