Day 2 - Lake Skadar and Prijestonica Cetinje

We started off with an early start to get to breakfast for 7:30. We were a bit late but the breakfast was amazing with chocolate filled crepes, french toast, cheese, cucumber and tomato. We picked up our lunches and made our way back to the hostel to get ready for today’s adventure. 

After breakfast we got on the coach and headed off to Lake Skadar.  While we waited for our boat trip, we did what we love and visited the souvenir shops and stands.  We found a lovely shop where the owner makes all the souvenirs by hand.  

Around lunchtime we then went on a boat trip along the beautiful lake covered with lily’s and wildlife. We ate lunch on the boat having sandwiches and fruit that we had received from the caterers who gave us breakfast. The views from the boat were amazing and we particularly loved watching the birds ducking in and out as the boat came.  


After the relaxing boat road, we got on the bus and went to the old royal capital Prijestonice of Montenegro. We visited a few more souvenir shops and went to a museum about the late king. The museum was very fancy and full of fascinating objects and artefacts. We particularly liked seeing the different furniture for each of the children’s rooms and how it matched their personality. Throughout today we had a lovely tour guide whose name was Tanya. She told us all about the city and its religions whilst on the bus. The churches and mosques we past were stunning in the sunlight and some were very grand.



On the journey back to our hostel we stopped to take pictures of the stunning views over the Adriatic Sea and at one point were even driving in the clouds with white all around us.

Day 1 - Montenegro here we come !

 This morning we had an early start (very early!) After the coach had left we were all getting very excited about our upcoming adventure. Before we knew it, we were at Stansted airport and made it through a rather busy check in and security.  After a small detour to find the shuttle to the terminal we made it onto the plane.   Arriving at Tivat airport we were immediately hit by the heat and stunning mountain scenery.  Safely through customs we made our way to collect suitcases. Unfortunately for Asantewaa, hers wasn't there but an identical one was! After turning detective and making a few calls we located it as somebody else had mistaken it for theirs. Thankfully Helen makes friends with everyone she speaks to So her friend at Jet2 groups was happy to help. On the way to the hostel, with the help of Marco our coach driver, we did a suitcase trade and headed for the hostel.  Once we got here we had a friendly welcome and were shown to our rooms and settled...

 We went to breakfast at 7.30 and we ate crepes, French toast, toasties, banana ,apple tomato cucumber. It was very delicious. After, we walked to the sandy beach. We swam in the Adriatic sea and we even did races. We built big sand castles and Layla and Aadya made a huge sand castle with barriers. We had chips for lunch. After lunch, some people relaxed on the beach whilst others went back in the sea and enjoyed spa sessions using the sand. After that some of us got yummy rolled ice-cream the flavours were: kinder bueno, nutella, bounty, Oreo and more. Many of us bought jewellery for our families and ourselves. We looked in other shops as well. Lucy bought a nice beach bag and then the leaders bought us dinner. On the way home people got more ice cream and when we got back home we got free time. Dinner was tomato pasta and cheesy garlic bread. The yummy food was served to us and then it was time to gather around the firepit. We sang songs like pizza hut and quarter masters stores....
