    After lunch we stopped at the Olympic stadium. The scale is amazing and can only be appreciated from inside. There is a good view of the Acropolis from the top tier! Then back to the hotel for a rest.

    What a lovely port, we took a Tuk Tuk ride with Igor through the town and up to the hills for the views. We met Matt and had a lovely ice cream and a walk through the old palace and market followed by lunch by the port. Then we had a gentle wander around the old town. Very narrow streets.
    Back to the ship on a rickshaw.
    Diner last night was Korean BBQ at Gumbae with a lovely South African couple.

    It was a very wet morning and the mist was all over the hills. We decided to cancel our boat trip as it was also cold!
    The rain stopped about 1pm so we headed into Kotor. So glad we did as it was a lovely walled city. The walls went all up the hillside but we decided not to attempt them. Also there were cats everywhere! Mum was in her element.Read more
