Kotor, Montenegro

Speaking of Montenegro, here's a photo of some of the back streets of Kotor. While visiting Dubrovnik, I took a day trip to Montenegro. I was so close, I just had to step over the border to visit at least a small part of that country. One of the most surprising things about our quick jaunt was the level of Russian investment and involvement in the seaside communitie, highlighted by our guide.

While Kotor is a small city, we weren't allowed enough time to explore it fully. I had wanted to climb the city walls up into the mountains for an overview, but after walking a few hundred meters, I realized that I wouldn't be able to make it back to the bus if I ascended to the ramparts at the crest.

I have plans to return to the Balkans. My taste of Croatia made me curious about the rest of the region. And I want to return to Montenegro to see more of the country at a slightly more leisurely place. We shall see.

Photos of Croatia can be seen on the main site.

wonderful timeless picture of this little jewel like city. I am a big fan of the area as well although Croatia still wins my heart :)

Thanks Elaine. I didn't get to spend much time in Montenegro, so I can't really say much about it. I do love Croatia, tho!
