Or: KITTY πβ¬ KAT KOTOR ππβ¬ππβ¬ππβ¬ππβ¬ππβ¬ππβ¬ππβ¬ππβ¬π……
Another day, another beautiful town! As I am writing βοΈ this I am climbing,l 1350 steps to overlook the beautiful Bay of Kotor in Montenegro π²πͺ
It is extremely thirsty work and I am dripping with sweat: π so much that it is running into my eyes and stinging them! But, it is all worth it! What a prize once you reach the top! β°οΈ
We have been averaging about 20,000 steps every day, but nothing is as strenuous as today’s effort in climbing the steps up to the fortress. I was personally tempted, a few times, to throw in the towel, but this is probably my one and only time in Montenegro, so I was not going to let it beat me πͺπ» πβ¬
Like Venice, Kotor had a problem with rampant mice, rats, and snakes. Thankfully, the imported cats π± were very happy to take care of that little problem and soon the city became a thriving trading port. Because of this, cats started to become a symbol of good luck. There is even a cat π± museum!
Dad: This is where your 80th birthday present has been bought so it should bring you good luck for at least a year… Apparently if it doesn’t you can bring it back and try for another year! ππβπ» π πβ¬π±
You know what? There has not been one destination on this journey that I have not enjoyed for one reason or another. They have all been wonderful and unique in their own special ways. The only thing I genuinely miss is being a part of the night time activity and night environment for many of them. Still, it has definitely been a wonderful taste of Europe… Places I would probably not have put on my own itinerary otherwise. ππβ¬ππβ¬ππβ¬π
Another huge plus for today’s town was that the ship basically docked right next door to the town so all we had to do was get off the ship π’ and walk across the road. We even came back and had lunch on the ship and then went back to this magical and majestic town again … Sat in the town Square and had a sangria and watch the world go by π«Άπ»πππΎ
As the ship π’ rolled outta Kotor, with a slight drizzling of rain π§οΈ I thought π…If only I could continue travelling 𧳠forever πRead more
