Montenegro has a National Park?


Prior to leaving the States I shared our itinerary with a former manager of mine who is from (what is now) Montenegro.  Her response to seeing a day in Durmitor National Park “Montenegro has a national park?  I’ve never heard of anyone going there…”  Nonetheless, around 5:00pm on Tuesday we arrived in Durmitor National Park.  Clete would probably object but I think the national park status is pretty arbitrary, although there were fewer rocks than the rest of the country.  


Not too much to report other than our conversation with the park ranger when we arrived: 

Us:  Hello, do you speak English?
Him:  Two Euros
Us:  Ok, which way to the Black Lake?
Him:  Sorry
Us:  Do you have a map?
Him:  Goodbye


The lake and forest were beautiful but decidedly not that unique to Montenegro.  We still had a good time despite a wolf false alarm. (The dog looked big and wild, I swear!)
