Day 4: 16km (+ 450m. uphill and 500m. downhill)
OK, last night was really, really, really, really windy. The day starts around 6.30 and I am flying over the PPT. Not because of the winds, but because here there’s a proper trail, with markers everywhere.
Today the sun is out and even though it’s early it’s already warm. At the settlement of Ogradenica (a chapel including nun and a few houses), I take a break at the cistern. Re-hydrating.
A short walk later there’s a spot with stunning views over the bay. It comes with ****-internet reception. I take another break to blog a little.
After this hiking again: an unpaved road, a shaded forest, a bit uphill, a bit downhill, a trail damaged by a landslide and again an unpaved road. It’s around noon as I arrive at the ruins of fort Kosmač.
I planned on bivouac here, high above the bay, however…
- it’s early
- this place is windy
- the fort is close to a busy road
So after waiting for a while at the bus stop in the village of Brajići, as to be expected not on schedule, a crowded bus stops. My backpack and I are squeezed in. In about twenty minutes the bus zigzags, full speed, down to the coastal town of Budva. Down to a much needed shower. Down to a restaurant serving cooked (instead of soaked) food.
