We had another early start today with breakfast at 06:30am and leaving the hotel just after 07:00am. We made our way to yet another border crossing from Albania to Montenegro. After successfully entering Montenegro, we drove along the coast where our first photo stop was Sveti Steven.
Sveti Stefan.
After briefly driving a further 6km we arrived in the town of Budva. We would have 1 hour here to walk around and get some lunch. There were lots of sailing boats in the bay and it had a nice atmosphere while exploring.

Continuing on in the afternoon we made our way north along the coast to Kotor. This was another beautiful stop by the bay where we would enjoy more free time to explore. I had planned to walk up the hill to get a wide shot of the town but the price to do that was €8 so I gave it a miss.
Kotor, Montenegro
In the evening we would make our way to cross the border for the second time in one day into Croatia. Our hotel wasn't near the old town, but we would be fully exploring that area tomorrow in our free time.
Hello, I am just a few weeks away now from my next trip to Ukraine. This will be my 31st country to visit in the last 4 years. As i previously mentioned my passport has been renewed for another 10 years of travel and can't wait to start collecting immigration stamps. I received my train tickets in the post recently so I just need to purchase a London Underground ticket on the day to get me across the capital. This is where I will stay overnight in a hotel near Heathrow Airport ready for the early morning flight. I still need to pay for both hotel/hostels in London and Kiev but apart from that I just need to buy food while im away, everything else should be taken care of as I have already paid to my knowledge. I cannot withdraw Ukrainian hryvnia while I am in the UK so I will need to withdraw some local currency from an ATM in the airport. The flight time from London to Kiev is around 3.5 hours and I have a car transfer to the hostel waiting for me, then I have some free time i...
I was picked up at the hotel for my transfer to the airport. Today I was leaving China and making my way to South Korea. It was a couple of hours on the flight from Shanghai to Seoul. Gyeongbokgung Palace After transferring to my hotel in Seoul it was around 4pm and I knew the sunlight was fading. I dropped off the suitcase in the room and walked around the corner to the metro and went to the palace straight away. I needed to make sure I made the last admission time of 5pm or I couldn't get in at all because it would be closed tomorrow and I was only in South Korea for 2 days. This palace was build in 1395 and was part of the Joseon dynasty. It is the biggest of 5 palaces that were built around that period of time. I then made my way back to the hotel after closing time as I needed to do some laundry at the hotel. I packed for around 11-12 days worth of clothes and I was in Asia for 16-17 so this was the best time to do it as I had seen the hotel had a coin operated laundry...
Amsterdam is a city that I visited several times now, with my first visit been in August 2014. The most recent time was Summer 2016 on the Expat Explore Northern Explorer tour as this was the start and end point. Amsterdam is also a very common connecting hub for international flights into Europe at Schiphol Airport just 10km away from central Amsterdam. Amsterdam is most famous for its bicycles and canals. So on the first evening of our tour we took a cruise around the canals of Amsterdam. As we got to know our group we had the chance to have a pizza and some ice cream on board. Another top sight is the I Amsterdam sign. This is a great spot for tourists to get their group shots. The building just behind that is the Rijksmuseum(Shown below). This has arts and history of the city of Amsterdam and costs €17.50 at the time of writing. I have never been in and have only walked under the archway to get to the canals. Other places of interest in Amsterdam are: Van Gogh Museum...
