Weekend getaway to Marseille.

This trip was for me too much unplanned, almost not dreamed and as always - unexpected. To the second largest French city we did fly in Friday morning and came home at the same time on Monday.

 Like all Mediterranean cities of this region with its rich history - Marseille was founded by Greeks, cherished by Romans, and now reigns particularly in large urban areas characterized by a mixed variety of people. Unfortunately, the museum of the history was closed for renovation, we failed dig up into the more original history than we can find in Wikipedia .

The city's attraction places definitely worth your attention and walks: restored Fort St. Jean, mini cruise to Marseille inlets and other.

In Marseille without problems can be found a lot of restaurants where the dish will appear for every taste. There, in our opinion, is dominated Italian delicacies.
If for you fit and you enjoy a pizza, you can chew up a large delicious Italian pizza for 10 euros in pizzeria St. Jean St. Jean street, located near Fort St. Jean.

In summary - Marseille is one of those cities, which is worth a visit, but at the same time would not be a big loss if change it to another town or city of the same Provencal. 

On the other hand, you never know what the new, still have not seen corner of the world, is prepared for each person. Good luck to those who are planning to learn Marseille in their own way.

Lush green mountain magic in Montenegro

I very like travels and have traveled a lot. Today I want to tell you about one of the last my travels to Montenegro. Country that has enthralled the simplicity and friendliness. Green and beautiful country.

Our friends have been here a few years ago, but they paid attention more to mountains and canyons, we did to coasts and fjords.

Montenegro I would assess 10 points in a ten points system. What we did like most? Well: fortresses, an abundance of tourists originality attractions, friendliness of people, food, and coffee. In Montenegro we were hooked so that after year impressions are still alive.

Green mountains everywhere here, not only is the mountain region and at the coast too .

Pleasant smell greeted the first late night eating in cafe. Argued with my husband, what smells. We decided that someone smokes fragrant cigarettes and here is incense in use. 

Great smell is everywhere: smells pine, pine nuts, cedars and flowers. Maybe there were that many because before our came there rained. The flowers smell only if there is moisture.

Food is wonderful. We ate most in Timon cafe pizzeria in the city center and on the Gulf coast. Then all day just traveled through beautiful and famous places. Meat there usually is grilled. Mostly veal. Awfully tasty and very real food. Was tasty fish, huge prawns, squid. Well, the coffee was simply divine.

 In Montenegro everyone and everywhere is smoking. We were initially shocked because we are non-smokers. But cafes windows are open and then we started love tobacco smelling.

Mountains and serpentine are everywhere. The cities are located on the slopes of the mountains. On the mountains located the fortresses.

Adriatic sea is beautiful and clean. Black sand beaches. The local language is used two languages: Albanian and Montenegrin. With the tourists they still speak in English not very good, but In Russian enough good.

People there are extremely good, helpful, sociable. There you feel like a guest and friend. In Ulcinj people are very tolerant. Albanians are traditionally Muslims, but moderate. Islam encourages to help the poor, not to cheat.

We felt very safe.
In the southern part of the country the beach sand is volcanic black. 

When dry, it looks like ash. Wet nearly black.
