Montenegro is not in Africa

Before seeing the itinerary for our cruise, I had never even heard of Montenegro. If I were to have guessed where it is, I certainly would not have placed it across the Adriatic Sea from Italy between Albania and Bosnia/the tip of Croatia.

All I can say, what an amazing place! I believe when they say that it one of the most beautiful harbours in the world.

My photos do not do it even the remotest justice. As the ship wended its way through the fjords towards, Kotor, one could not help but be absolutely stunned with the quaint majesty. 

Once we were in port, we were tendered to the dock and made our way into the old city. Although we have visited so many different ancient ocean-side villages, each one has its own distinctive character and flavour and Kotor is no exception.

Wonky photo of the old city: (complete with pesky tourists...oops that's us as well!)

The streets of Kotor:

Sequoia got a little excited when we spotted a sign advising the way to a cat museum...

Until we realised that it had been closed for renovation only a few days earlier.

We were quite amazed at how many cats  reside in many of these walled cities we were visiting. And obviously very well cared for cats at that!

Next we had an obligatory sample of the local wine. Cinque Terre wine is still our favourite, but Montonegran wine is not too bad at all. 

Taking advantage of the wifi:

Before we knew it, it was time to say goodbye to this amazing spot.

Definitely somewhere I'd like to visit again!
