Montenegro - Denovici and Ulcinj

Stopped in Denovici for our 8 day relaxing break, but we got fidgety and decided to only make it a 6 day stay. First couple of days were pretty slow, Denovici is a quiet little spot on the harbour at the moment, we just strolled the waterfront and took it easy. Next day instead of resting we hired bikes and cycled between the little towns around the bay,  ended up being a round trip of about 32 kms.  Came across some rock paintings from 8th century BC and some Roman Mosaics from 2nd century AD in our travels. So much for relaxing! Saddle sore and tired, but slept well that night. Treated ourselves to a massage the next afternoon.
Moved down the country a bit to Ulcinj.  A bit bigger town and our apartment is up quite a steep hill, so a few stops to 'admire the view' each time we head back from town.  The old town was badly affected by an earthquake in 1979 so a lot of rebuilding /renewal has been done since then. Now it seems to be mostly restaurants and a large hotel, a little disappointing.
Another night here, then we move to Albania on Sunday...

(In case you get confused by the photo sequence in relation to the blog posts, sorry, but despite me adding them in the same order as I mention topics in our blog, when the blog is published they seem to fall into their own random order!)
