Family Vacation: Kotor, Montenegro, Day 2

Today we toured a little more of Kotor Bay. There are two charming islands in the middle of the bay only reachable by boat. Since it's not peak season, there aren't any boats running regularly. Hudson really wanted to ride a boat, though, so we did what we could. When we arrived in the small town nearest the islands we saw some men working on the dock. Lucky us - we have a family member who speaks the local language. So he asked the men where/when we could catch a boat. Turns out a charter boat for a tour group had just left for the islands. The men phoned the boat, and boat came back and picked us up! We rode back to the mainland with the tour group a bit later. It was a lovely boat cruise and lovely scenery. Then later in the day, Hudson and Byron went exploring. They dropped in on the Kotor Carnival, went to a playground, explored the docks, and threw stones in the water. Then we all went to a nice dinner at a fish restaurant. Super fun trip with my super fun family.

Family Vacation: Kotor, Montenegro, Day 1

This weekend is a holiday weekend in Bosnia, so we hopped in the car for a road trip to Montenegro. What a beautiful country! We are visiting Kotor located on Kotor Bay. We arrived last night and took a quick walk around town before grabbing pizza for dinner and calling it an early night. This morning we hiked up to a fortress on the top of the mountain behind the town of Kotor. Needless to say, we needed naps this afternoon. Then we headed out to stroll along the water before dinner.

Goodbye, Bosnia

All that hiking will really wear you out.

Look carefully and you can see the flag at the top behind the city. We all made it all the way up!
