Day 21: From Crno Jezero to Tara Bridge

Short bike ride day. We started the day swimming at Black Lake, relaxing our muscles and enjoying the National Park. After a huge breakfast in town, we rode 22.6 km to Tara Bridge. The road was mainly downhill. We stayed in a wood cabin by the river (30 euros breaky included) and did some computer work, looking forward to jumping into the zip line tomorrow morning. Good night, world!

Day 29: From Perast to Bigova

Image
We pedaled 35.8 km in 2 hours at a scorching 38 degrees—the most uncomfortable ride we've ever had. It felt like cycling through a desert, with heat radiating from the asphalt right into our faces. Originally, we were looking for a glamping site and a restaurant in Vranovici, but the town was deserted. So, we recalculated our route and headed to Bigova instead, which turned out to be a great choice! We needed to stay close to the area since Jon had a flight from Tivat Airport the next day. If you find yourself in a similar situation, Bigova Bay is an excellent option. When we arrived, we headed to the only restaurant in town: Grispolis. The place is a paradise with fresh seafood, a fantastic environment where locals arrive by boat to spend the day, and well-cooked food. The restaurant has direct access to the sea, which feels like a big pool. The bay is surrounded by houses with private entries to the water, lots of greenery, and it's a fabulous spot for sunsets. Grispolis als...

Day 26: From Budva to Kotor

We covered 28.21 km with a 449-meter uphill climb in one hour and 49 minutes. The journey was hectic as we took a secondary road (M-11) for approximately 8 km. The route was challenging due to heavy traffic, limited scenery, and many cars speeding by very close to our bikes. The last third of the way featured steep, zigzagging inclines, made even more challenging by the 30-degree temperature. Upon reaching the summit, we snapped some photos of the Bay of Kotor and then began our descent. Once we settled into our accommodation, we went for a walk around the old town, which is enclosed within a spectacular stone wall. There are many options for dining, having a coffee, or enjoying an ice cream. We loved exploring its narrow streets and stopped for a dessert before heading back to our accommodation to rest. Kotor is a bustling city with heavy traffic and crowds. It’s the first time we've felt overwhelmed by tourists during our bike trip in Montenegro. We also found the food and plac...

Day 30: Rest Day in Bigova

Jon departed today for a week, needing to catch a flight. He asked the owner of Grispolis to store his bike, and the owner kindly agreed without hesitation. It's nice to be back in a place with genuinely good people who take pride in their work. The owner goes out every morning with his team to catch fresh fish for the afternoon, showcasing their dedication and hospitality. Thanks again!
