If you're travelling by bus, you'll need to pare back the itinerary a little. From Kotor,
the easiest way to Cetinje, Ostrog or rafting is on a day-tour. Swap the Plužine-Žabljak
road for a Nikšić-Žabljak bus. To get from Žabljak to Kolašin you'll need to go via
Pljevlja or Podgorica. From Virpazar take a train to Bar followed by a bus to Ulcinj.
