BEAUTIFUL MONTENEGRO (continued, part 3) The next morning at 8 am, we went by bus to Podgorica, there to change seats on a flight to Macedonia, in the town of Ohrid, and perhaps even to the capital Skopje. It was another crazy ride. Only this time, we always climbed up a mountain for as long as you go into a cloud, and visibility was reduced to a minimum. It was a little scary, but beautiful. At 11 am we arrived in the city of Podgorica. There we learned that in Ohrid bus does not go out, and in Skopje has only one flight. And there are no trains at all. The bus leaves at 8 pm, but the money we had, and two ATMs at the bus station were not working. We left our bags at the cash register and went in search of an ATM, because we were warned that tickets can snap up. We started walking and soon concluded that Podgorica - an ugly city, with a completely absent charm and dilapidated houses. We decided to find a cinema, as in our guidebook, we read that there show films in English. We hoped so to kill time. In the process we lost a little bit, but soon went to the cinema and found it completely abandoned. Thanks again to our guidebook for accurate information! As a result, we sat on the lawn near the bus station, read and write articles in the blog. Podgorica Oh! I almost forgot to say! It seems, in Podgorica never seen professionally made tattoos. People are always staring and touching me, even some horns from cars, protruded from the windows and showed me their tattoos. Madness for some! The bus, which we were going to sit down, have approached almost packed to capacity. We thought that we would have their place, but no such luck. The bus drove some very noisy college students who simply sat where they pleased. How local, who spoke with them in the same language, tried to drive away the "students" at least one place. We have long had to stand if one of the guys are not moved to his companion. We were almost at the end of the bus, next to the most "hands-free" group of guys. No sooner had the bus move, as after only 10 minutes, our driver decided to dine at the restaurant. After an hour wait, we again boarded the bus and began 11-hour trip. Night city we stopped at the border of Montenegro, and then again at the entrance to the southern edge of Serbia, Kosovo. It is a pity that we were driving at night and almost did not see anything, only a few cities in Kosovo, when it began to dawn. Form very different from what I expected. The city looked pretty good, were far mountains and snow-capped peaks and green valleys below excellent. Students are still a while noisy and we were able to get some sleep in their uncomfortable seats. When leaving Kosovo, we stopped again at the border. It happened at about 5:00 am. At this time we all had to leave the bus, pick up your bags from the trunk and go through customs inspection. The border guard is not very carefully considered our stuff. I do not know, maybe he was searching for some hidden our Kosovo dwarf. At 7 am we arrived in Skopje, Macedonia. We are tired, but they were full of desire as quickly as possible to sit for the next bus to Ohrid. Start material:
