Under skjer i Montenegro

Ja, her er eg! To maanader har alt gaatt, eg er vel installert i ny heim og ny jobb. Montenegro er eit vakkert land, og eg utforskar ivrig omlandet og kva det kan by paa. I dag hoyrde eg om Kvinnestranda, som ligg i Ulcinj, der kvionner kan sola seg og bli jamnt brune over heile kroppen. Det mi kjelde IKKJE sa, er at denne stranda, og ikkje minst vatnet der, kan utretta under! Ein kan bli gravid! Rett nok ikkje berre ved aa symja i dette fantastiske vatnet, eit lite ekstra ritual maa ogsaa respekterast. Ja minsann, det vil eg tru....Berre les (informasjon fraa nettside om tilbod i Ulcinj:

So-called "Ladies Beach" is situated along Ulcinj's coastal pine forest, just south of Hotel Mediteran Resort, part of a succession of small natural beaches and quiet covers that exist along this Adriatic coastline. The beach here is known for its therapeutic springs of sulphurous water that is said cure women's infertility. It is believed that when the sulphurous water mixed with sea water rich in iodine, that there is a healing effect.


The pine forest canopy in this area is also enriched with natural resin fumes that are said to have further curative powers. The natural therapies of this beach have been well-known since the earliest part of the 20th Century. Scientific studies were first conducted by an Italian team in 1925 to authenticate the reputed powers of this beach.

But local lore says that it is not enough to simply swim in the waters to become pregnant, there is a ritual to be respected.

A woman must come to the beach accompanied by an older local woman, and visit a cave that locals call "the cave with a bad smell." Accompanied by the older woman, the younger female must undress and walk several times around a stone immersed in sulphurous brown water, in the middle of the cave. Once this ritual has been completed, the younger female then needs to consume a boiled egg brought for this purpose.

Kva skjer dersom ei gravid dame tar med seg ei lokal dame inn i stinkehola, går fleire gonger rundt steinen og et eit kokt egg? Dette kan me finna ut i september.

Det blir sikkert tvillingar! Iallefall om du gaar rundt steinen mange gonger! Kan verta interessant.. Men eg trur nok dei fleste som reiser hit reiser for aa sola seg nakne, dette er nemleg ogsaa den einaste nudistbadestranda berre for kvinner!
