Or: KITTY 🐈‍⬛ KAT KOTOR 🐈🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛🐈……

Another day, another beautiful town! As I am writing ✍️ this I am climbing,l 1350 steps to overlook the beautiful Bay of Kotor in Montenegro 🇲🇪
It is extremely thirsty work and I am dripping with sweat: 😓 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! ⛰️

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 💪🏻 🐈‍⬛

Like Venice, Kotor had a problem with rampant mice, rats, and snakes. Thankfully, the imported cats 🐱 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 🐱 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! 🙃😝✊🏻 🐈 🐈‍⬛🐱

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. 🐈🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛🐈🐈‍⬛🐈

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 🚢 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 🫶🏻👏🙌🏾

As the ship 🚢 rolled outta Kotor, with a slight drizzling of rain 🌧️ I thought 💭…If only I could continue travelling 🧳 forever 🙏Read more
