Relaxing along the Adriatic sea in Budva, Montenegro, and tales from travelers

I spent nearly all day at a cafe in Montenegro, relaxing and looking out over the Adriatic Sea.  When the restaurant owner kicked me out, and to be fair I had been there for a good 4 or 5 hours, I went to Mongren beach, which Srbo said I had to check out.  Along the way, I enjoyed the sites of the citadel built on the outlet.

Once I got the the beach, I sat in a lounge chair, ordered a salad, and relaxed some more.  When it started getting dark, I made my way to the hostel which was extremely difficult to find.  A local was very kind, called the hostel for me, and walked with me.  It was at the end of a tiny street, and by tiny I mean maybe 3 feet wide.   

At my hostel I met 2 french guys, in their 20s, who in addition to hitchhiking their way throughout Europe, are also pitching their tents when nightfalls and they are far from a city.  I asked if they had a weapon with them, and indeed they said they had knives.  One of the guys showed me a picture of their tent which was just a few feet off the side of the road.  I asked why they pitched it so close to the side of the road and he said, "I guess we didn't think about that."  Then he told me that in Albania, where they pitched their tent surrounded by mountains, that they started hearing wolves howl once night feel.  THAT is adventure traveling!  Or just plain stupidity.  Either way, they lived to tell the tale, and what a great story they have.  

He also recently went to NYC with his dad and showed me a picture of an empty suitcase which he brought.  He went with only the clothes on his back so he could take advantage of the inexpensive shopping in NYC.  I think the only thing that is cheaper though are American brands, like Polo.  

I met another couple who were in Montenegro for diving and have gone diving literally all over the world.  They've dived in the Red Sea several times.  

I went to bed early as I had a bus ticket to Dubrovnik the next morning at 7:30AM.
