Budva

Budva is the main beach town of Montenegro. It has an old city with a fortress (are you sensing a theme here?) It was much more touristy and thus less impressive than other places. They've built an ugly red structure into it to make seating for something (maybe showing movies?)

I met a German/Serbian guy there who introduced me to a crowd of young Montenegrins. We went to a bar with a cover band (bad 70's rock, of course) and got sloshed. Then we went to a coffee shop in town and had a lively discussion with the owner of the bar about the Serbo/Croatian/Bosnian language (it's the same! It's not the same! You are stupid! Was basically how it went).

The next day I'd wanted to stay and go swimming, but it was cloudy. Also I didn't really feel comfortable staying at the house I was in anymore. I had gotten along really well with the family, and I guess they took that as a reason to (very insistenly) ask me for a $200 euro loan to pay their rent that month. I told them I really couldn't. So I ended up going to Celije that afternoon...
