yesterday as soon as i arrived i befriended an american girl, laura, who i then spent the day with. she definitely knew more about this place than me, so was more than happy for her to take the lead. so we caught a bus to trsteno beach, frequented predominantly by locals and boasting the best sand in the budva riviera. it was awesome and totally not what we expected!
the beach itself was only 100m long, so to accommodate more people massive pontoon platforms had been built on either side of the bay. the water was crystal clear, not a single person spoke english and music pumped all afternoon. managed to order fries and fruit salad for lunch... well fries and whipped cream with some fruit. still yum though!
the big shock of the day came when one of the cocktail bars turned into a foam party - the amount of foam spilling into the water was insane!!
from the beach we came back to the hostel and went to a seafood place for dinner recommended by the guy on reception. was kinda average, but expected in such a touristy place when paying minimal prices. didn't go out last night as had a big day planned for today...
this morning laura and i were on our way to sveti stefan at 9am. an island resort frequented by the rich and famous, we were unable to cross to sveti stefan itself. instead we took photos and contented ourselves lying on the beach next to the exclusive hotel sun lounges. it was pretty gorgeous and i was so excited to have seen it!
this afternoon we planned to go to st. nicola island, but unfortunately the weather was against us! we had just boarded our boat when a thunderstorm rolled in, so instead we made a round trip to the island huddled next to the captain and i'm going to go back tomorrow free of charge!
laura is leaving tonight, but have already promised some irish guys in my room to go to the famed tophill nightclub with them tonight... we'll see how it goes!!!
