Damselfly baths

Being in Podgorica, Montenegro, I was looking for a place to swim. The river Morača is flowing right through the city. Swimming in cold water under Millennium bridge is perfect. Especially now, when you constantly want to escape from the crazy heat. It feels like 40+ degrees all day long.

Enduring the tourist season in Montenegro
