The Bokelian Marine
This video is about the oldest brotherhood of seafarers in the world - The Bokelian Marine. According to tradition, it was founded in the year 809 in Kotor, one of the most beautiful Mediterranean medieval towns, which is located in the Boka Kotorska bay (the Bay of Kotor) and placed on the UNESCO World Heritage list.
This age-old seafarers association still exists today, but only as a memorial organization, preserving long and honorable tradition of Boka's maritime affairs. It members wear traditional uniform and arms and, during the festivities or in other various occasions, they dance the medieval Kolo, rich with seafaring symbolism.
As a living institution of the 1200 years old cultural legacy, the Bokelian Marine deserves to have it placed on the UNESCO List of Intangible Cultural Heritage.

Make Montenegro Your Next Holiday Destination For Some James Bond-Style Glamour On A Budget
Montenegro is one those places that sounds incredibly glamorous – but, truthfully, do you even know where it is?
Before you start Googling, let me admit that I was shamefully hazy about its exact position on the planet too.
Sandwiched between Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia and Albania, it has a population of just 620,000.
Easy to miss, you might say – but with easyJet now offering low-cost flights from both Gatwick and Manchester to Tivat, one of its top resort towns, that is sure to change rapidly.
With its stunning coastline, good-value hotels (yes – even considering our poor, precarious pound) and less than three-hour flight time, Montenegro is rightly tipped to be one of this year’s rising European destinations.
After landing in Tivat on the Adriatic coast, the transfer to the Hotel Splendid Conference and Spa Resort in Becici was just 30 minutes.
The Splendid, as James Bond geeks will tell you, was the name of the imposing Baroque hotel in Casino Royale where 007 takes on the terrorist financier Chiffre in a nail-biting poker game.
In fact, much of that 2006 movie is set in Montenegro, which possibly accounts for the country’s newfound glamorous reputation.
Yet, sadly, no filming actually took place in the country itself.
The Czech Republic provided the locations and let Montenegro claim the glory.
But while my Hotel Splendid may not be a stunning period building – complete with Daniel Craig strutting around in his budgie smugglers (if only) – there was lots to recommend this modern, five-
star resort.
My giant circular bed was one of the most comfortable I’ve slept in, and waking up to the sounds of the waves crashing against the shore, with a balcony view of the Adriatic, is nothing to complain about.
You do get some rain here, but on top of the sprawling outdoor pool and beach, there’s also an indoor one to retreat to from the showers.
And the spa area has several kinds of saunas and steam rooms with varying heats and herbal smells to suit anyone who enjoys this kind of detoxing downtime.
If you’re fond of a firm massage, you won’t be disappointed – with Montenegrin men and women being famously tall, they seem to have plenty of strength to unknot your tensions and makes your worries from home melt away.
The five-star rating here may not exactly translate to the UK version – you are charged €1.50 for every coffee machine pod you use in the room, and none of the whirlpool baths really seemed to work properly.
But these are minor points and staying here is still luxury at a good price.
Back up the coast at Tivat is Porto Montenegro, a new multimillion-pound marina on the Bay of Kotor where wealthy Russian holidaymakers and Europe’s yachting fraternity flock to enjoy the facilities and show off their super-vessels.
The Porto Montenegro Yacht Club (or PMYC as it’s known) must be the most chic place in the country to knock back a decent cocktail and laze with a good book.
You don’t have to be a member, just pay to use the pool for the day. With its slick-white aesthetic, geometrically-placed palms, and gigantic bronze sculpture in the middle by Catalan artist Jaume Plensa, there is a cool Miami vibe to enjoy here.
And, at a whopping 210ft long, there has surely never been a more aptly-named infinity pool than this (portomontenegro.com €40 per day).
The club is also home to the Naval Heritage Collection museum, worth a quick look if only for the chance to board the Yugoslav Navy P-821 Hero-class submarine outside.
Here you see first hand the cramped, claustrophobic living quarters sailors had to cope with when it roamed 600ft under the surface in the late 1960s (admission and tour €5). If you like to keep active on holiday, Lustica Bay is in development on the other side of the Bay of Kotor.
Here you can learn to sail or paddleboard in calm waters. A sizeable water park is also being built and it’s sure to attract families and thrillseekers alike.
More adventurous souls can, and certainly should, make the winding trip along the Tara River through unspoiled, breathtakingly lush countryside to Kolasin in central Montenegro.
Donning a wetsuit and hard hat, and equipped with gung-ho bravado, I boarded a raft at Splaviste for some whitewater action.
Guiding us through the rapids at the back of the raft was a stern local who, we were assured, knew the Tara River ‘’like the back of his hand’’.
His English was limited but effective when he boomed, “EVERYBODY!’’
It was the signal for all passengers on board to frantically paddle while he steered us through rapids and rocks. ‘’STOP!’’ meant sit tight –and just hold on for dear life.
The official age you’re allowed to raft here is three, but I strongly suspect it would be a little bit older back in the health and safety conscious UK ( montenegroexplorer.co.me €60-75).
However, it was a thrilling way to discover the Djurdjevica Bridge, which featured in 1978 British war movie Force 10 From Navarone.
ŽABLJAK- The Black Lake -MONTENEGRO
National Park encompasses the basic mountain massif of Durmitor, parts and areas of the lakes and Piva mountain, upper parts of canyon valleys Grabovica and Komarnica, canyon valley of the river Tara and canyons of its confluences - Sušica, Vaškovska river and Draga.
Park area amounts 39.000 hectares, stretched on the territory of five municipalities: Žabljak, Šavnik, Plužine, Mojkovac and Pljevlja.
Main feature of the relief is a wide plateau located at 1.500 meters above the sea level, carved by deep canyon valleys, with impressive mountain tops, of which 48 are at 2.000 meters above the sea level. The highest peak is Bobotov kuk, at 2.525 meters above the sea level.
Particular impression is created by 18 glacial lakes, called mountain eyes, located at 1.500 meters above the sea level. The biggest and the most beautiful is Crno Lake, with stunning scenery, and a giant peak Medvjed, above the lake.
With the decision of UNESCO's International Committee for the World Natural and Historical Heritage from 1980, NP Durmitor was included in the list of the World Natural Heritage.
Center of the park is Žabljak, small town at the bottom of the southeastern part of Durmitor. This settlement, which is located at the highest altitude of the Balkan Peninsula (around 1.450m) is the biggest winter center in Montenegro, with considerable accommodation capacities, both hotel and private, infrastructure for winter sports and services in the area of tourism and mountaineering. Mountaineering paths are marked and there is an organized mountain climbing guide service.
In the National park zone, you can conquer whirlpools, defiles, limans and spinning wheels with rafts, kayaks and pneumatic boats, carried by the mainstream of the river Tara and guided by secure hands of rafters, discover the beauty, pass through the deepest canyon in Europe and swim in perfectly clean water.
Length of the river Tara is 156 kilometers, canyon valley is 93 kilometers long, while the canyon depth can reach even 1.300 meters.

Discover New Zealand - Christchurch, Banks Peninsula, Arthur's Pass and more.
In this video we take a look around Christchurch both before and after the 2011 Earthquake. We also look at some of the other attractions and experiences available in and around the area, such as; the vintage trams, Ferrymead Heritage Park, Christchurch International Antarctic Centre, Willowbank Zoo, Christchurch Gondola, Banks Peninsula and Whale Watch Kaikoura. We also experience the desolate magnificence of Aurthur’s Pass as we view the awesome scenery from both the road and the “TranzAlpine” train. Christchurch is not only the start/terminus for the world famous “TranzAlpine”, but also the equally scenic “Coastal Pacific” train that hugs the Pacific shoreline to connect with the Wellington ferry. Christchurch is rebuilding after the devastating quakes and tourists can be sure of a warm welcome with both plenty to see and do.
