Montenegro 2014
A very special " Thank you" must go to Blazo, Tonko and their friends for making all this happen. They laboured daily not just on the set-up but making sure everyone was as happy as she or he could be.
It was a fun-filled meeting with very special Camaraderie in a spectacular part of Montenegro. You just can't pay for scenery and trails like these!
The weather was fabulous and even the spectacular thunderstorm one night provided unexpected entertainment!. Ioanis was sleeping in his tiny pop up tent through it all while it was blown from left to right at absurd angles was a sight to behold! He modestly said " I had earplugs in and could not hear a thing". Had it blown any harder, I reckon he would have been the first Greek on the moon! :lol2:
Goca kept up well fed with lamb stews, home made cheese, smoked meats and those delicious, golden breakfast 'dumplings'- which you could coat with local honey or home-made plumb jam.
The wild and locally picked thyme tea was delicious too as were the shots of a local apple 'schnapps' to keep our internal fire stoked!
Thank you to those who provided the photos, Knut and Cristina, Marija, Damjan and Ioanis and I'll let them speak for themselves in no particular order below (apology to chronologists!)
