Our relaxing visit to Lake Skadar was the perfect way to say goodbye to Montenegro. Perfect because if there is anything Montenegro does best—besides epic mountains, crazy long tunnels, and jaw dropping scenery, it would be that they are the most chill country and people we’ve ever encountered. In a tiny little bay where …
Earlier in the summer, when we first came through Montenegro, we hired a driver to take us out to see a nearby lake that everyone told us must be seen. When we reached the lookout point, our Oregonian eyes deceived us. It didn’t really look all that must-see. From high upon a hill at a …
On Sunday morning, we took advantage of the fact that we still had our rental car and headed into Podgorica to attend the little church branch there.
