Croatia/Montenegro (Day 4)


Our first adventure of the day was to visit Kotor, Montenegro. There were two main reasons to visit this town: 1) it is located on the southern-most fjord and 2) it is a UNESCO World Heritage site. It is a walled city that has a castle that sits 4.5km above the city. It was the perfect destination for a nice fall day. Next up was Dubrovnik which is said to be the best and most well preserved medieval city in the world. The entire city is surrounded by a wall that you can walk completely around. It gives you the ability to see the town as well as the Adriatic Sea and surrounding countryside with a birds-eye-view. We took a short guided city tour in the evening to learn more about its history before having a traditional Bosnian dinner. Afterwards, we embarked onto the ferry which took us and our car 9 hours overnight to Bari, Italy. See the pictures of Kotor and Dubrovnik here.
