    April 30, 2024 in Croatia ⋅ ☁️ 18 °C

    Our 3rd day in Croatia and today we went by bus to the beautiful Montenegro. Delightful weather again - how fortunate we are so far with glorious blue skies!
    We had a fabulous guide & bus driver and boy oh boy did we need them! The traffic was chaotic to say the least and the bus passed oncoming traffic at break neck speeds with centimetres separating opposing vehicles!
    First stop was at Parest where we got a boat transfer to Our Lady of the Rocks island where there is a quaint church filled with priceless treasures. Onto Kotor for a 3 hour stop over. There were a number of cruise liners in and around Kotor so there were people everywhere. We ended up choosing to sit for an hour and enjoy a beer, watching the passing parades of people being led by guides. The only time we touch beer is in Europe! Not sure why, but we love it here!
    It was interesting waiting at border check points at both Croatia & Montenegro. Sometimes traffic line up for many kilometres waiting to pass through, however, today we probably waited only an hour!
    Home to our apartment for showers and a rest. Sue & Duncan went their own way at this stage because they have a very early start again in the morning.
    We went to a restaurant called Trivadoor Brassiere to have dinner and listen to a 2 piece jazz group consisting of piano and double bass (plus vocals). The night was perfect, the food good and the entertainment fabulous. A night we will remember. Sleep in for us tomorrow while Sue & Duncan travel to Bosnia & Mostar for the day.
