Tuesday May 23-25, 2017
The Bay of Kotor, set back from the Adriatic, is reached through a small straight unless you go over the mountain, as we did. There were amazing views of the bay, but with 25 numbered hairpin turns, Tom did see many of those views. The most extraordinary roads in Montenegro are also the steepest, narrowest, white-knuckled drives.
Perast, north of Kotor, is a small town of palaces and churches right on the water. Two islands with churches are right offshore of this picturesque town and we have a great room overlooking the water at Monte Bay Retreat.
The symbol of Perast - the Venetian lion, with Catholics and Orthodox united against the Ottomans on the crest.
The ceiling of Our Lady of the Rocks, the blue domed island church......
An evening stroll along the waterfront and dinner by the bay was a delightful end to our day.
