UK and Med Cruise - Day 16 - 20 September - Kotor

Back to Kotor today. We decided to just walk around the old city.  When we got off the tender we started walking in the wrong direction, but we realised there were signs pointing to a shopping centre that way, so we continued on.  I needed to buy some conditioner, which I found without too much trouble.  While waiting to be served an American lady in front of me was stopped because the security system beeped when she tried to walk out, and she ended up being escorted to the back of the shop with her daughter; they obviously were quite convinced she had stolen something.  I was a bit worried that it might have been her cruise card that set off the system, because of course I had my card with me too.  However, I got out of the shop with no problems, and a little while later I saw the lady again, so it must have all been sorted out, but I have no doubt that it was a scary experience for her.
We had a 'map' of the old city provided by Princess, but we knew it would be hopeless; they go out of their way to make sure that you decide that it's all too complicated and go on one of their tours.  However, there was a tourist information centre just outside the old city gates - they were also handing out maps and we hoped theirs would be more useful. Not so; it also seemed to have been designed to encourage you to book a tour with a guide.
However, we went ahead by ourselves and managed to see lots of the old city.   We eventually found the Cat Museum but our main target was the Maritime Museum which we found twice - the first time it was jam packed with people on tours, so we didn't go in.  It took us a while to find it again, but we eventually did, and it was truly worthwhile (although we still had to stay out of the way of multiple tour groups!)
As obligatory now - another photo of Paul and a gun - not a big one this time!
