Zabljak


More snow last night and the real good type like in the movies where it just gently floated to the ground.  Very magical.  

Probably not a big deal to anyone who receives regular snow but this was only the 2nd time I’ve seen it fall like that so it was quite special.

So after scoffing down breakfast the kids were out playing in it again whilst I stayed in the house and attended to some HMR work in an effort to keep the country moving back home.

After lunch we had a third crack at driving up the mountain but again there was too much snow on the road so instead we drove out to the Durmitor National Park and walked around Crno Jezero.  Literally 'Black Lake'.   (The lake is, depending on the season, one lake or two separate lakes.)

There's a small one hour hike around the lake so we did that.  It was sub-zero in the shade and with our unaclimatised Brisbane bodies and our basic cold weather gear we were freezing.


Trail around the lake.
Met an Aussie couple at the park gate and had a big chat to them. They're staying in Porto Montenegro skippering a boat for a Aussie bloke that he uses occasionally.  Seems like a pretty good gig actually as the owner only comes onto the boat occasionally.  They get free rent and board, cruise the Adriatic and, what is effectively, a paid holiday.

Winner!  (Note to self: get skippers licence when I get back home.)
