Kotor

We arrived at Kotor to find a fascinating and well-preserved medieval and Venetian old town. The walls and moat around the town saw many battles over the centuries.

Into Montenegro

After an early pickup by a local travel company, Kristen and I headed south toward Montenegro along the sea south of Dubrovnik. A big cruise ship and some large sailboats were anchored in the leeward side of the island.

Driving along the Bay of Kotor in Montenegro.

At a scenic stop on the bay. There is a little church named the Church of Our Lady of the Rock in the middle of the bay.

An old industrial site from times long gone.

Another view of the church and another nearby island with a building on it.

Dubrovnik Day Two

Day two in Dubrovnik broke with a beautiful sun-filled morning. We walked down the narrow alleys and stairs from our lodging into old town.

We headed up to the city walls of old town and did the entire circuit to see the sights.

A fort on a neighboring rock.

Was this lunch or was this just a snack?
