Our excursion went from Kotor up into the mountains to a town called Njegusi where we got to try some local food. We then went further through the mountains to Cetinje which was previously the capital of Montenegro. Some wonderful scenery and a lot of stories and information from our guide. However, the big discovery for the day was that the narrow winding road up the side of Vesuvius a couple of days ago was just a preparation for today:
Down below in the photo you can see a piece of winding road. The vast majority of the road to Cetinje was like that except that mostly it was far narrower than the piece you can see - most of it was no more than one lane and in some cases there were roadworks that I seriously didn't think were wide enough for the coach. However, we made it in one piece.
Not a lot of pictures today, although this is the view of our ship from part-way up the mountain:
The dark blue ship at the dock is the Queen Victoria; there's only one dock so we ended up anchored just behind her.
When we returned to Kotor our tour was supposed to finish with a walk around the old city. However, we had been badly delayed by traffic, we were both hot and tired, and we'll be back here again next week, so we ducked out of that part of the tour and went back to the ship.
Quiet evening tonight, none of our table-mates showed up at dinner. Not a surprise really, this 'excursion every day' thing is really quite tiring.
