A postmark from Crna Gora or, as it is known in English, “Montenegro”! You can kinda see the town’s name – Njeguši. Look it up! It is really beautiful, and it can be reached from the port city of Kotor. The landscape changes quite drastically, and everything suddenly becomes “alpine”-looking, although it’s not even that far away from the sea!

Two post office handcancels from the Netherlands, as you can see the top one has an error where the date is flipped. They have the town in the bottom with the post office number above it.
