Herceg Novi to Podgorica, Montenegro

Montenegro is a little bit smaller in area than the state of Vermont with a similar population. Today we checked out of the wonderful Lazure Hotel in the coastal town of Herceg Novi and took a bus inland to the capital of Montenegro, Podgorica.

At the bus station

The bus ride took three and a half hours. The scenery was stunning. Much of it along the coast reminded me of the fjords of Norway. Unfortunately the bus windows had some kind of a film on them so it was impossible to get good pictures.

We walked from the bus station in Podgorica to our hotel. The area around the bus station was, as in many cities not the nicest. Our hotel, Hotel Viya is a in a very pretty area.
