Montenegro - October 2010

Today was my tour of Montenegro, just south of Croatia. I had the chattiest guide/driver ever and had few kind words for Montenegro.

The first stop was to see what grows wild along the road - yes it is marijuana. It is legal in Croatia and there seems to be no restrictions on its use.

This is a picture of Dubrovnik on our way to Montenegro. We made a few other photo stops before reaching the walled town of Kotor.

You know my passion for balconies. One of hundreds in Kotor.

Kotor was like a miniature Dubrovnik Old Town. Beautiful streets packed with tourists. An hour was not nearly enough time to enjoy this beautiful gem.





This was an exclusive island for the rich and famous. It looks a little crowded for me.

Our final stop for the day was in Budva, which my guide book said wasn't worth stopping at. I'm glad I went, but must agree with my guide book. We should have spent more time in Kotor.

My highlight in Kotor was lunch at the Shanghai China Restaurant. It reminded me where I started my trip many, many weeks ago. The food was interesting, not like American Chinese, but definitely not like Shanghai Chinese.


Interesting window shutters, used for decorations in a restaurant.

This is a small version of the ferry we took on the way back to Dubrovnik.

The ride home was long in the dreary rain. I had dinner and packed for the voyage to Split tomorrow.
