Weekend in Montenegro

We ventured up the Adriatic coast to a very tidy, colorful and breathtaking area, spending the night in a walled-in city called Kotar. It sits on the only fjord in southern Europe. Elegantly simple.

There are fortresses everywhere. We hiked up to this one above the walled-in city. Buildings range from the 1100s to 1600s. They use the Euro and it is more expensive than Albania but the roads really have continuous asphalt and guard rails! Peter is doing a great job in his jeep with standard shift, potholes, one lane mountain climbs and working his way out of a traffic ticket. We were stopped because we didn't have our lights on and the law requires that you must have them on at all times in Montenegro. They gave us a warning after Peter told them he was kind of a policeman...well he oversaw the police in our town as mayor!!! 

You can see that there is much to appreciate here.
Although at the top of the mountain road we had three feet of snow on either side of the one lane hairpin road!

Seems like Burlington is experiencing a Mediterranean climate this spring. It is delightful, isn't it!
