Kajmak can be aged in sheep skin. Then it is called "skorup"




Drinking wine and eating smoked meat is the social life if montenegrins

First monring in Budva



Stari Grad (Old Town) in Budva


They call that island St Nikola and more commonly, "Hawaii"

Hostel Saki Apartimani in Budva


The white stuff in the middle is "kajmak" a yummy, creamy, salty spread kinda like clotted cream but can be aged a bit to give more flavor. The ham is also homemade and smoked.



The hostel was really nice. It had room for three people, a private bathroom with hot water, TV/DVD, air conditioning (i did not need it) and a kitchenette with stove and refrigerator. I recommend it, tell them I sent you!

Snow Shoes


Xavier was suppose to take a picture of me with the snow shoes...but that is his parents house and his uncles farm equipment shop behind me. Across the street is where we went cross country skiing after lunch that day. It was about a 5km long track.

So much snow! 80cm! Even deep for snow shoeing!



You can't even see his snow shoes it is quite deep. My camera died after this so no picture of us cross country skiing or the "igloo" his dad built while on holiday.

Xavier and I went to have a few drinks with some of his co-workers next to Nestle. It was snowing all day but was warm so it was slushy outside
