We’ve got a little weather coming in today. Some wind has kicked up and the limestone mountains that rise about the bay make for an excellent Bernoullis tube. The wind seems to make a swift transition down into the narrow lane and rushes with some pretty good force until it surfs over the ridge and …
This post is for our AWESOME daughter-in-law Rachel who loves cats. This little museum was tucked away in a little corner of Kotor Montenegro. We heard about it and went searching for it just to go and celebrate what Rachel loves. These quirky off-the-beaten-path experiences really make us smile. If it’s not on …
We went to shore today to soak up the medieval town nestled at the end of the Bay of Kotor. The old town is flanked with fortification walls that long ago kept out invaders but now clamors with the influx of vacationers. High above the steep limestone cliffs a crumbling fortress has settled into the …
There were two celebratory holidays that occurred today. One we celebrated and the other we did not. Celebrated? WORLD OCEANS DAY And in honor of World Oceans Day we took the dingy out and collected trash around the bay of Kotor where we are anchored. And headed to a small shoreline and …
After our little side excursion to the Blue Caves, we headed up to Southern Europe’s only fjord, the Bay of Kotor. Technically, we’re not sure if it is really a fjord but people often call it that for good reason-it feels exactly like one. As you sail into the inlet, past the towns that …
After our quick stop in Porto Montenegro, we continued north towards the Bay of Kotor. Along the way we stopped near the Blue Caves just south of the bay. There’s no place to anchor or moor so Mark and I took turns captaining the boat, keeping it safely adrift while a collection of crew went …
Chloe misses a few things stateside. Mostly tacos, definitely Chick-fil-A, and sometimes her brother. But here in Porto Montenegro she found Big Bite…so close to being her beloved Chick-fil-A, this girl is happy. We”re heading up toward Kotor next so we hit up Big Bite one last time before we left. Poor Kris …
This is no small win. After living over here in Greece and Montenegro, without speaking any of the native tongue except for the compulsory “Good Morning” and “Thank You” and a few other fun things to say, I’ve finally mastered the produce weighing machines. Grocery shopping in a language you don’t understand is an …
We successfully used our passerelle for the first time—a literal walk of the plank to get to town. …and it got me thinking. We’ve been traveling around and seeing so many fortresses and high walls—all built in an attempt to keep people safe. Often because they felt vulnerable and needed protection from harm. …
Avert your eyes, you may not ever get in the ocean again after seeing what just crept up the rope on our swim ladder. It was Mark who stumbled into it as he was pulling the line to bring the ladder up, although from his high-pitched girl scream, it sounded more like Chloe had …
