What you missed out not entering the mausoleum, is that you get a 360° view from there. You can actually see most of the country and on a clear day also the Italian coast.
We would like to see we've had some amazing views of Montenegro already - in spite of missing out this time. It's a tricky balance at times to choose what you do or don't do. Not everybody travel the way we do (or would even want to!) and that's fine!
Incredible park up at the beach and very eerie even watching you walk around! Since you've been back in Europe you've been filling our notebook! Budget is something we talk about all the time, it's hard to know how we're doing as we've yet to cover huge miles, so fuel is low whilst accommodation is ridiculous! Anyway, another great film, the mountain park up was unreal 😍
Really interesting part of Europe. And for you this is the best (only?) place to wiggle around the Schengen limits? As for budget, for us it's very much the other way around. We hardly (if ever) pay for parking and if we do it will be because we're in a location (city) we want to visit - for a good reason. Everything tends to average out though. in 'cheaper' countries you might be tempted to spend more on food and dining.. Generally speaking, you should be saving heaps even in countries like France (and thrive in Spain and Portugal).
Just started watching this videos guys, but paused to say... is Lisa always so positive ? its refreshing, my wife complained to me this morning that the only news that she gets on her phone is bad news, I told her to stop reading them. In a world of predominantly bad news, its great to see someone with such a positive outlook and a wonderful zest for life. Andre - I'm afraid I can't talk to you until Monday. Ireland are playing the baby Boks in the U20 Rugby World Cup semi-final on Sunday in Cape Town. I'm so looking forward to it, ok if we win I might tune in next week, if not, I'm not so sure... ;-)
You inspired me to buy a van and go traveling while I'm still able - i.e. why spend the time in familiar places all the time when you can explore new ones in a relatively affordable way.
Wow that was an eye-opener. Montenegro is on the visit list now, definitely! How cool that you could stay in the national park, and at such an incredible location. Happy days 😊😊
The wife and I would not pay the €8 too. I always say I'm more interested in the countryside, basically anything not man made. plus with levels of VAT on everything, we pay way to much in this life, tax on tax until nothing is left. We have had a lovely long weekend in our Van near our home in France, two lakes for swimming, parking free. very few people, great walks, cost was what we brought at the supermarket (€15) and diesel for the van (€10) Happy days. 🙂 🇫🇷
Nice vid, beautifull country. Btw the brand of beer on the end of video is Banjalucko (from Banjaluka, capital of Republika Srpska in Bosnia), should try Nektar from same brewery, much better!
@@WeWillNomad well ye are out of the Rat Race 🏁 think of the people who only have a few weeks off in the year n Children to keep entertained etc that's where most head To the Seaside.. Then back to the daily grind While ye just travel on to next Country .. Not So Bad ...
Enjoyed the video, concur with you regarding visiting attractions. We too experience the same issues of whether to visit or not when faced with these dilemmas on our three month excursions.
The two Montenegro videos maybe my favourites. I'd rather stay in and explore a small unknown town for a week than go up the Eiffel tower, tourist spots not my thing. (Although I did do the 'must sees' on my very first trip 47 years ago!)
Thanks Adrianna! We completely agree with you! That's why ideally one want to visit everywhere twice... once to see the 'must see' highlights and then the next time to really experience it in a more relaxed manner. Sometimes that's why we do a housesite, just to experience living in a small town or new place. Thanks for continuing to travelling with us! 😍
I agree 100%. I recently was given out to by a friend of mine for setting up a gem (un-discovered) of a place in Ireland on Park4night. He said, "You know that now you have ruined it". And he was probably right. Now, everyone knows about it. Most of the best places are free with nobody else around.
Hello Julle Twee. always nice to watch your vids. Really informative and definitely an incentive to get those of us who thought it impossible to do what you guys are doing, so "DO IT"!!! Only thing I'm sure you must miss is a "lekker vet tjopie" on the braai. I guess you get to try all the "Ander Lekkers" that every country has to offer. Enjoy the summer and safe travels you guys!! Tot volgende keur, Totsiens🤟
Dankie Roy! We do miss 'n lekker braai but Serbia comes very close with all the grilled meat (and it's affordable). Let's just say that we definitely don't go hungry! 🤪 Thanks for travelling with us! 😊
Thank you Lisa and Andre, for visiting Lovćen National Park. I know you have a limited budget, and you want to avoid the crowds in the tourist spots. Here are the reasons to visit Cetinje, the mausoleum on Lovcen, Ivan's trough, and of course Kotor, maybe next fall, when it's less crowded. I think that it is the most beautiful part of our most beautiful Montenegro.
Thank you for joining us! We agree and think that is a very good idea! 👍 We will definitely be back in shoulder season next time as we loved Montenegro 😍
That was amazing Andre and Lisa. You are living such a rich life at the moment, thanks for sharing it with us. And.. I'm sorry, I made notes.... - that lovely bay town, it reminds me of Saint Jean De Luz in the South of France. With the horse-shoe bay with the amazing beaches. - Love the history background narrative, keep it up. Its so great to hear about the history of the area that you are visiting. - Radwagon 4 Cargo bike still going well ? It seems it, we still haven't committed but this bike is still in the picture. - You should never kill a spider. Lisa how could you.... - the abandoned area was indeed creepy. Sad really. - I agree 100% with your decision to not see/pay for everything, having a consensus between the two of you is key. You "seem" to get on very well together, tis a rare dynamic in my experience. That's it, enjoy Montenegro and take care of each other.
Thank you Ronan! Travelling like this brings amazing moments as well as some challenges. But if you keep your sense of humor it's a battle half won. We definitely get on well (not much of a choice 😋 ) but after traveling together for so long it would not have been possible if we don't have consensus on 'most' things. To make it sustainable we need to have the same goals.
Your vlogs are great, but please also other vlogs from Greece, Albania, Spain... to be offered for translation in Serbian as well because we want a translation ❤️🌸 😄😘🇷🇸
Thank you for the suggestion! For all vlogs with 'captions available' you can choose to auto-translate to your own language, and it will work the same. But we will go back and add it to previous videos as well.
I am so happy I stumbled over your channel! I'm dreaming of traveling from Sweden down through the Balkan to Greece or maybe Italy during next winter. In Sweden 99% of the people go to Spain and Portugal though, it's been hard to find someone doing this part of Europe. You have so much information and your website is full packed with info, I will watch and plan and dream. Thank you so much for all the work you do! Maybe I'll see you on the road somewhere. 😍
Hi Linda! Thank you for your comment and welcome to our channel! If you have any specific questions please feel free to email us. We're planning to travel from Denmark to Poland at the end of summer and then make our way to to Greece as well.
@@WeWillNomad Wow, that's sounds perfect! It may sound crazy, but I've never been abroad on vacation (only with work in groups) and I will be traveling alone with my two dogs. I'm terrified, but determined I'm going to do it. 😅 It's nice to know there's someone out there you can ask if you need to. 🥰
I was staying in Ulcinj for most of June and stumbled across the abandoned Valderos resort by accident! I had no idea what the backstory was and was trying to figure out how old it was and when it was abandoned. I went into one of the dilapidated cabins (with lots of spiders and broken glass 😬) and there were some mouldy water-damaged books and magazines scattered around on the floor. The dates on the magazines were from 2005-2007 iirc. I tried to find a more recent magazine because I figured the place had been abandoned about 4 or 5 years ago but couldn't find one. (There was a lot of stuff strewn around .... clearly some local teens or crazy people have done some vandalism, but I would have thought that after 15 years everything would have been picked clean.) Now I know the backstory, that mystery is solved. A very interesting place!
Yup, we always find it unbelievable when abandoned places still have so many items lying around that have not (yet) been stolen! Wow, it must have been interesting to go into the cabins although I (Lisa) was already dodging the spiders outside! How was June in Ulcinj? Probably a good month to be there before it gets too busy! Thanks for watching 😊
@@WeWillNomad Yes Ulcinj was less busy in June. I was surprised how much busier it became by July. I was there in October 2021 too, when it was a lot quieter .... it's rather a pleasant place in the off-season with a temperature that makes it easy to walk around and no crowds. I look forward to watching more of your videos!
Thank you, we're happy to have you join us! Yes, next time we will try to return in that off-season as there is so much more we would like to see and explore. 👍
@@WeWillNomad You'll never know unless you try. 🤗🤗 I don't think those who have millions of subscribers would want to collab with you though hehehe. You may want to start with those 30k and fewer subscribers. They can surely relate to you and your struggles. All the best!
@@WeWillNomad nothing to lose in just reaching out, Newbys, Scotters, Mr&Mrs Adventure, and now, just maybe, the Travelbeans in Portugal alone, LeAw, Midlife vanlife, etc, etc, they all collaborate and welcome other creators. Your content is so professional, I'm sure they'd love to meet you. Just do it! 😊
@@WeWillNomad It’s a great avenue to have more subscribers. Your videos are professionally made and it’s a waste of talent and effort if they are not viewed by hundreds of thousands or better yet millions of viewers. I am really hoping that TH-cam would do its magic algorithm and and turn one of your videos viral if collab is not your thing. 🤗🎉. Continue on producing great videos. I am rooting for you!
In the end we all make choices based on what is important to us. If we had to go see EVERY sight and pay for it, our travels will not last very long. What is important comes down to personal choice. And we choose to keep travelling. By the way, we're not British.
Awesome video well done guys.
Thanks! Just wait for today's one... 😜😂
That spider just wanted to hitch a ride to Denmark for the summer! Wow Montenegro looks so beautiful!
😂😂 Ha ha! I'll bring him to you! 😜
Love your videos 😍

You are the best guy's 👌
😂 Thank you so much! 😍
Hi, Andre and Lisa nice trip! Andre my suggestion to reach Kotor is to going on Kotor serpentin road. The road is amazing!
Aah yes, You'll have to wait for the next video to see that bit. 😋
I was 4 time pass that road, 2 times with car and two times with bicycles.
Just started watching this videos guys, but paused to say... is Lisa always so positive ? its refreshing, my wife complained to me this morning that the only news that she gets on her phone is bad news, I told her to stop reading them.

Lisa's just faking it for the camera 😋 Usually she's rather grumpy. 😎 Just joking. Now I have to run.
You inspired me to buy a van and go traveling while I'm still able - i.e. why spend the time in familiar places all the time when you can explore new ones in a relatively affordable way.
Wow, that's very exciting! Yes, it really can be affordable and still an incredible experience. We wish you all the best for many happy travels! 😍
Nike, Just do it.....
Wow that was an eye-opener. Montenegro is on the visit list now, definitely! How cool that you could stay in the national park, and at such an incredible location. Happy days 😊😊
It's so fantastic when one can enjoy national parks so freely and affordably! Think you guys would love it 😍
The wife and I would not pay the €8 too. I always say I'm more interested in the countryside, basically anything not man made. plus with levels of VAT on everything, we pay way to much in this life, tax on tax until nothing is left.

That sounds like our perfect weekend! We're dying of the heat right now so just send us the pin and we'll see you there tomorrow! 😜😂
Nice vid, beautifull country. Btw the brand of beer on the end of video is Banjalucko (from Banjaluka, capital of Republika Srpska in Bosnia), should try Nektar from same brewery, much better!
Thanks for the info! We actually had a few from Nektar already! Delicious! We always try a bunch of different beers everywhere we go though!
Fantastic again ..😍 The Roads Less Travelled are way more interesting Especially if you meet up the Local people..🤔
Stay Free and Safe Travels 😎
Thanks! The longer we do this, the more we stay away from busy places. But sometimes it's impossible.
@@WeWillNomad well ye are out of the Rat Race 🏁 think of the people who only have a few weeks off in the year n Children to keep entertained etc that's where most head To the Seaside.. Then back to the daily grind While ye just travel on to next Country .. Not So Bad ...
Ah yes. Truth be told we feel a bit sorry for the people who have the kids full time for so long. Not much chance for resting in between.
Enjoyed the video, concur with you regarding visiting attractions. We too experience the same issues of whether to visit or not when faced with these dilemmas on our three month excursions.
It's a tricky balance at times but you have to do what makes you happy. Not everybody travel the way we do (or would even want to!) and that's fine!

Don't know how it is today, but part of the large beach in Ulcinj was Europe's largest nudist beach in the 80's.
There's still a portion that's a defined nudist area from what we could see.
👍
In my opinion, 8 eur for Lovcen is tooooo much. Cheers!
You will come again to Greece? Or you will go to the other Balkan countries?
We will come back to Greece again but not this year. Next time hopefully for a few months so we can see a lot more of Greece... 😊
