Kotor, Montenegro

We sailed through fjords this morning for about two hours till we arrived at this fairy tale setting surrounded my steep mountains on three sides. The scenery was magnificent. Kotor is a medieval town set on this lovely bay. The architecture in very Venetian and very beautiful. There is a zig zag stone path up one of the mountainsides to a church at the top. It it around twenty storeys if you count the steps on an iPhone but it is steep and rocky and uneven but we managed to do it. What an accomplishment! We were so proud of ourselves. We probably won't be able to walk tomorrow but the experience was well worth it. It is very hot today, which made it even harder to climb but once we started we couldn't stop. It was a challenge and we won!

Now I am sitting in th shade by the ship's pool sipping a PiƱa Colada. That's my reward for imitating a mountain goat and not falling. We might go off the ship later but right now I am perfectly content in doing nothing.
