Puerto Morelos The wonky old Lighthouse So off we went from Tulum roaring down the road towards out final destination. For this we had chosen Puerto Morelos, a small fishing town (or a small drinking town with a fishing problem as one bar described it). Although there are other more famous places we could have gone to such as Playa del Carmen or Cancun we had decided on Puerto Morelos as it was described as being less busy and resorty but a little more charming. For this reason it was a little bit of a shock when we had been bombarded by people asking us into their shop as soon as we stepped out of the taxi that had run us the few miles from the bus station to the sea front.  Beautiful cups at Lola y Moya Our time here was short and generally meant to be relaxing, as a result there wasn't a breadth of things that we had planned to do apart from walking by the sea front and seeing the wonky old lighthouse. We did however find an amazing cafe place called Lola y Moy

Papaya tastes yucky, especially when you think it's orange juice So bad! 3. Most Mexican food isn't Mexican By this I mean that everything you think of as Mexican food isn't really.

Burek is meat, cheese or vegetables wrapped in pastry and then eaten, it's

Storm the Fortresses, Our Journey in Montenegro

Montenegro With rising black mountains and deep blue bays Montenegro was a place which was full of stunning views for us. We got on the bus from beautiful Dubrovnik and took the winding coastal road down towards the Montenegrin border. The border was a bit long as we had to all get off the bus for both borders. Upon crossing the border we hit quite a lot of rain and this gave our first glimpse of Montenegro a very sinister and gloomy look. This said it didn't ruin the experience but rather added to it. Kotor While in Kotor we stayed in the old town and this gloomy effect really made it feel like we were immersed in some old medieval town with it's white walls and cobbled streets. Kotor itself is an old Venetian fortress leftover from the Albanian kingdom of the aforementioned empire. To be honest it was all a bit much during the day as many cruise ships offload in Kotor so the whole town is teeming with tourists. During the evening however the town is very relaxed a
