Cetinje to Podgorica the capital of Montenegro.

Due to the slow speed of the 3G dongle I'm using, no photos for this blog.

We left Cetinje after a great night's sleep.  The Pansion 22 was an excellent place to stay in a really nice town.  As soon as we left the city there was a slight uphill and then mostly downhill to Podgorica.

The views down into the valleys were hard to look at at 60kph, hanging  close to the barriers and not being bolded over by trucks, buses and cars.

I did round one bend and notice a tunnel right in front of me.  Now that's a concern.  I quickly turned on the light on my helmet, took off my sunglasses so I could at least see and hoped no one run me over from behind.

All was good and more downhill was to follow.

We had an Aussie morning tea stop for 30 minutes, as the award allows, and then made for the city.  After riding around for 10 minutes we took some back streets and this young man stopped his vehicle to see what we were after.

After a couple of phone calls, we were riding to meet Dhuska out the front of Hotel Kostas with her headlights flashing. Now this was something I was waiting to see.  Low and behold Dhuska was there and she took us to an apartment which had everything, air con, 3G dongle, sat TV and full kitchen for 30 Euro.  What a bargain.

Tomorrow we head for the town of Bogetici and the ancient Ostrog Monastery. We're hoping to find accommodation in the town of Bogetici as we don't intend to climb 7kms up to the monastery with all our bags on.  If we can't find accommodation, then we'll just have to keep going.  All reports say we can't secure our goods up in the mountain.

Until tomorrow, safe riding.
