    In Cetinje, ex Capital of Montenegro, we visited King Nikola’s Palace. It is a very simple palace, built between 1863-67. King Nikola reigned between 1860 and 1918. The palace became a museum in 1926. After leaving the palace we had a refreshment break and looked around the attractive streets.
    Leaving Cetinje we travelled through the hills to Martinovic Honey farm at Dubovik.

    Then drove to Perast, on Kotor Bay to visit the “Lady of the Rock Island” and its church. We travelled out to the island by boat. The island is artificially created by rocks and old ships filled with rock, which are dumped in the water. The church has many
    pictures of Madonna and is filled with gifts that people have left there. There are many bridal bouquets hanging up, as when there is a wedding, the bride leaves her bouquet in thanks.
    After a short visit we boarded the boat and headed back through Kotor Bay to Kotor Old Town. This was a beautiful, fortified, old town, with many shops to visit. It has been listed by UNESCO on the world heritage list since 1979. We had a quick tour, including visiting the Maritime Museum, Square of Sailors and St Lucas Church. We then had some time to look around by ourselves before we drove back to Budva for a free evening.
    Pizza for 2 for tea.
