Valdanos Adventure
September 1, 2015
5km north of Ulcinj a bay called Valdanos lures with a nice beach and 17,000 olive trees. Following its call, some of us took a taxi for the short ride out and had a look around. The beach is nice but “sadly”, after many months in Australia and Asia, it’s hard to impress me on that front. The view inland was more unique for me.
Not far from the beach an uphill leading road was promising nice views over the area.
Holidays!

Muesli with sweet, ripe figs from the tree outside my room - that’s a nice start into the day!
I’ve spent the days mostly with holiday activities. Eating good food, going for a swim in the ocean or chatting to other travellers.
Yesterday some of us went for a small hike along the coastline in southerly direction. The first half hour was the worst, fighting through the touristy hordes.
But once that was cleared and the noise had given way to the sound of the ocean and the pine trees, it was really nice.

After some back-and-forth I’ve altered the travel route a little and am intending to travel down the coast instead of going back inland. Getting to Skopje from Podgorica would have required to cross back over the Dinaric Alps and would have meant either a gruelling 12h bus ride or a 300 Euro flight. Neither was overly appealing.
Instead I followed a recommendation from a fellow traveller at the hostel in Podgorica and took the bus down to Ulcinj, a Montenegrin town just north of the Albanian border.
The centre of town is extremely touristy and a 15 minute walk through there last night was more exhausting than a 2h mountain hike. The good thing is that the season is winding down and the local “beach bar”, a tucked away place with amazing views, had all but three patrons.
