Bay of Kotor, Montenegro

 Heading towards the Bay of Kotor we arrived in the evenings twilight and had a brief wander inside the walls of the medieval town before settling down for the night. We'd chosen to kip in an empty carpark ready to head up to the castle of Saint John when the morning came.

 There was a small fee to be paid to go up, however the Gateman did not have enough change as we were the first visitors to head up before the morning heat struck. So we agreed to pay on our way down - upon which my sister went to pay and was confused to be greeted by a hand shake from the Gateman who said due to our honesty he'd give us the visit for free - made my day! :D

It was a steady walk up the mountains side as the developing views to our right were impressive.

We were rather glad we decided to walk up before midday heat reached it peak.

We decided to cool off in the sea before driving onto our next location. We found a decent spot and swam in front of a derelict hotel which had helpful ladders down in to the sea ♥

Lake Skadar, Montenegro

Lake Skadar - also called Lake Scutari, Lake Shkodër and Lake Shkodra — lies on the border of Albania and Montenegro, the largest lake in the Balkan Peninsula. It is named after the city of Shkodër in northern Albania.

Skadar Lake is the largest lake in the Balkan Peninsula with a surface area that seasonally fluctuates between 370 km² (140 sq mi) to 530 km² (200 sq mi). Skadar Lake itself is located on the western Balkan with approximately two-third (229 km² (88 sq mi)) of its surface belonging to Montenegro and about one-third (142 km² (55 sq mi)) to Albania. The lake’s water level also varies seasonally from 4.7 to 9.8 m above sea level. The lake extends in the NW-SE direction, and it is approximately 44 km long.

Speeding Ticket in Bosnia and Herzegovina

Foooooook......I got caught speeding.......

So we arrived in Bosnia and Herzegovina and were headed to Sarajevo. We needed a green card for the car but didn't have one - our insurance company assured us that we wouldn't need one even though we asked several times. Luckily due to language barriers on the border crossing we managed to get into Bosnia without the it.
Joe drove most of the way to the capital and we swapped just before we got there. Whilst coming down a hill into a 30 mph/50 kph zone I was doing 37 mph and got flagged down....

The police man directed us to pull up while he was dealing with another speeder. We waited till he came over and spoke either Croatian, Serbian or Bosnian at me.

Err English?

"driving license" and "Passport"   

He took these and beckoned me to follow. I did grimacing. He proceeded to fill out some paper work and said something in maybe Bosnian. He waved his finger at me and shook his head. He then pointed at the document and handed me a pen.

"You sign"

"Sign? What am I signing" I then rephrase my words as English means little. "I sign, fini?"

"Yes fini" I scribble my name and he returns my license only to keep hold of my passport telling me to drive 5 minutes down the road to get some money out.

40Bosnia-Herzegovina Mark was thankfully not much - £16. 
My first speeding ticket...

Once I'd paid we continued the short distance and arrived in Sarajevo.
