... way up above the town of Kotor.

Drazen warned that “only if you are in good condition” should you attempt this climb. We decided to give it a try – we could always walk back down if things got too tough. Well the first half wasn’t too bad. We scrambled up a path that was basically stone steps to the incredibly lofty positioned Church of our Lady of Remedy. The church was built by those who survived the ...

... changing. Only taxi drivers really know the latest and greatest.

I finally did find that one needle in the haystack, and a guy about my age actually walked me four blocks to where the bus was hidden down a side street. Albanian culture is all about helping visitors I came to find out later and that is such a welcome change from back home. Can you imagine some luggage toting, non English speaking foreigner walking up to ...

... might. It was beautiful though and makes me want to go to Norway some day.

The little towns dotting the bay sparkled in the sun as we drove around and everywhere people were swimming. There are two little islands in the Bay of Kotor with an interesting story. One is natural, and the other was formed when, as legend goes, fisherman saw a glowing light in the water which they felt was an angel protecting them. They dropped a ...

I think I spent a whole two hours in Kotor, Montenegro. I caught a bus south from Dubrovnik and the way the connections worked out I had to leave before I even had a chance to do much. But it was worth it. Kotor and the coastline of Montenegro is wicked and something I would love to give more time to one day.

The trip there and back was slow going. Due to the terrain, it took close to three hours to go just over ...

... to walk underground maybe a little less than one quarter mile. Upon entering the bar it had many levels; all outside surrounded by the roaring nighttime surf of the sea and live entertainment. I saw a few people illegally swimming and asked Darko if I could swim there too. He informed me the swimming was closed for the evening. We ordered drinks and sat there chilling for a while. On the walk back Darko showed me all the gambling casinos along the Riviera. It looked like anyone could ...

... of the city is the fortress ruins on the mountainside at night, when they are all lit up forming an arch of light on the dark mountain. My main goal on Wednesday was to hike up and down the ruins on the mountainside. It was a nice hike, taking about 3 hours total to go up, down, and explore the ruins a bit. Though on the way down, I'm pretty sure I inadvertently veered off the path since it wasn't exactly as clear or well laid out as the path up. At one ...

... passed more cows and along our ride, we constantly made stops, picking up people who work in Zagljak along the way. The van got so many people in it, several had to stand inside and the driver had to often downshift to 3rd or 2nd gear to get us up a mountainside. But eventually we made it up to Zagljak. A little info on Zagljak for you. It is the city on the highest altitude of the Balkans, located in the heart of the enormous ...

... but she insisted. She clearly couldn't keep up with our superior command of English, and I finally pointed to the mussels and asked her if that was the gnocchi, which clearly it wasn't. After a bit more of a back and forth, this matron reluctantly removed the mussels from the table. Eventually, our gnocchi showed up. The second course was also fantastic, especially the unique black risotto (so blackened by squid ink) with delights of the sea (as they might say in a Chinese ...
