We’re currently in a place that would be marked on a map by ‘There be dragons’. Surprisingly, there’s an internet cafe, and even more surprisingly, half the population here speaks Dutch or German. Apparently many in this village were refugees in both these places. I should remind myself to be more careful about what I say in Dutch to Ulysse…

We left Albania two days ago, and took a slight detour through Podgorica, the capitol of Montenegro. We had spoken to two people at a mobile phone promotional stand at the train station, and were hoping to meet them again. We did, and the results were two very short nights, a wonderful day, and a place to sleep. I even got to discuss Nietzsche with one of them, and am now the proud owner of ‘The Anti-Christ’ in both English and ‘Serbski’. I’m trying to learn Serbski now, so this should be a great help…

The weather has been horrible: 42 degrees celcius in the shade. Apparently a town nearby had the highest measured temperature in all of Europe. It is not good for hitchhiking!

We’re hoping that the owner of this internet cafe will drive us to our destination, because it’s in the middle of even less where, and too far to walk.
