What could €20 buy you in Serbia?
10 hours from Topcider [Топчидер] in Serbia [Србија] to Podgorica [Подгорица] in Montenegro [Црна Гора] – passing through 254 tunnels and 435 bridges… we thought we would get bored at some point but we stayed glued to the window and went “wha! whaa!! whaaa!!! whaaaa!!!! whaaaaa!!!!! whaaaaaa!!!!!! WHA! WHAA!! WHAAA!!! WHAAAA!!!! – louder with each
Walk into Tintin's Syldavia in Montenegro
If the train journey from Serbia to Montenegro had made us feel like we were in the opening credits of The Adventures of Tintin (TV series), then getting around Montenegro was what made us believe that we had arrived in Syldavia — the fictitious country that Hergé had created in King Ottokar’s Sceptre and Lake of Sharks.
Sshhh… listen to what the cats of Kotor have to say…
Meow: When you enter Kotor Old Town by the main gate (also known as the Sea Gate), you would notice a slogan of the former Yugoslavia that is often attributed to Josip Broz Tito – “What belongs to others we don't want, (what is) ours we don't give (up)”. Montenegro only gained independence in 2006.
