At the time we decided on Turkey as the place we’d spend a month, Kotor, Montenegro was the other main location in the running. The country of Montenegro, is brand spankin’ new, and just a few months older than Beckett. (It was part of the former Yugoslavia.)
As part of our final fling before returning to the US, we spent 4 nights here. It’s another neat walled city, but the twist is that it’s walls go right up a mountain.
There’s not a whole lot to do here, besides walk the city, climb alongside the walls, and enjoy the scenery. But all those things are spectacular. It really is a beautiful area. Just not too exciting.
Main gate into the city
The old town is dotted with squares that hold restaurants
Not the stairway to heaven. Just a cool stairway.
On our second day, Mara, Beckett and I hiked up to the top of the mountain. They enjoyed it for about 10 minutes or so, then things went South. Nice views from up there, but the colors were a little flat since the day was overcast.
Hmm, I wonder why they have this sign?
Oh, that’s why they have the sign!
The enthusiasm on their faces is inspiring
Sigh. . .up we go again!
Finally, we got to the top and had some cool views of the bay and town
Beckett gives it 2 thumbs down
The next day, we got a few nice shots when the sun came out.
