Day 7 - A high degree of soggy

18:00
Team Dobrota are a little subdued this morning. Well, 7 of us. Vicki is respondent after ‘yet’ another 10 hours of sleep. The sky is heavy with cloud, but we’re apparently due some sunshine late morning. 7 of us (all but Simon) head out for a walk. The breeze is fairly stiff, but the cloud is starting to clear. We make it most of the way down to Kotor, stopping briefly at Babilon to book a table for dinner tonight, and pitch up at a plush looking beach club called Virtu. Beers/ciders for the majority, with soft drinks for those that are particularly suffering. The sun emerges, and we’re at peace with the world. A small cat appears, who I name ‘Bob.’ Vicks and I head back towards the apartment to grab some lunch, whilst the others carry on into Kotor. After some food and wine, I’m ready for a nap. I reward myself with a super deluxe snooze.

I’m a little groggy when I wake up, but shake the fuzziness away with a Whiskas strength Negroni. We’ve booked a table at Babilon for 20:00, but are a little concerned that the sky has significantly darkened, so head off a touch early. Happily, Goran has our table ready and waiting. A couple of minutes after 20:00, the floodgates open. The rain is as heavy as Monday, when we were flooded. Our table’s pretty well covered, but there’s still some notable water mist and splashing.

We have a sensational dinner. Vicki has a repeat of her order of Tuesday, and I have a wonderful salmon carpaccio, followed by a Tagliata - thinly sliced pieces of sirloin steak, served over a rocket and Parmesan salad. Delish. The rains continue while we eat. There’s a brief hiatus at 21:30. Vicki seizes this opportunity to head back to the villa. The remainder of us regret not taking our chance, when the rain comes back with a vengeance. Sated, we settle our bill, and head off. Shenda has an umbrella, so is broadly ok. I do not, so am not. It’s about a 10 minute walk back to the villa, and the rains heavy around half of that distance. Suddenly, the rain stops, and we rejoice.

Back at the villa, we’re delighted to find that there’s no flooding. Clearly the gutter jiggery-pokery has done the job. We’ve a small mountain of booze to get through before we leave tomorrow afternoon. I decide wine is my target for the evening, so have the last glass of white, followed by a couple of glasses of red. The rum can wait for the morning…Read more
