Croatia and Montenegro

Dubrovnik, Croatia from a lookout point.  It was beginning to rain and a bit misty.
Old Town, a walled city on the Adriatic Sea


Our room


Radisson infinity pool


Getting lost in the city.


Dubrovnik- just outside the walls in the harbour.


Checking it out.


Croatian beer


 The main street of Dubrovnik- Stradun.  No cars inside the city, and stone and marble.  Nearly the only green was potted plants.



 From Dubrovnik to Montenegro, 2 hour drive.  Two kilometers away, toward the mountain, is Bosnia. 



 Inside the walls of Budva.


 On the walls around Budva.





A tile in the wall. 


 A castle by the sea...








 Queen's Beach
On a lovely stroll from our hotel to a popular site, we came across four different beaches that were nearly abandoned and completely beautiful.


The town of Przno, a small town with a small rock island to store your lawn mower and have one olive tree!



 Aye, Matey!  Milocer Beach.


 Sveti, Stefan
This is formerly the Montenegrin royal family vacation home.  It is now available to the public to rent for holiday.  It's an isthmus!


 My first sighting of the kiwi tree.  I picked one kiwi, because the waitress said I could, and realized that I was somewhere quite unique.


 Monastary at the top of the hill.  Seclusion and privacy.


Montengrin pivo (beer). 




 These rocks are fascinating, quite a few warning signs for 'Falling Rocks'.


 Old Town Budva


What an adventure together! 


One of my favorite lunches- squid, octopus, prawns and risotto.  A great selection of seafood, and paired with a good Vranac wine- delicious!
