Day 8 Kotor, Montenegro

Today we are being tendered into Kotor, Montenegro. Waters were very calm so no issues there. Anikea began to tell us about a very old culture with too many changes in their history to list. The bus ride to our first stop… well that’s what you needed the gravol for…. We were to go to visit a small village for a snack after traveling over the mountain. Enough switchbacks that they have the numbered. 29 is at the top. AND they only count the true switchbacks not just a bend or a tight curve. I loved the views. Absolutely spectacular. I checked all 4 corners on the bus, not a mark – before or after. Imagine getting half way through the switch back and having to back up because the bus couldn’t turn tight enough. OK Jennifer you can breathe now. We kept getting vistas of the bay that our ship was in as we were getting higher and higher.

People have been living in the mountains since the Byzantine dynasty in order to escape unwanted invaders. A very hard way of life back then.

Tomorrow – SEA DAY!!!! Yay! No blog
