Photos: Kotor, Montenegro

Picture 1: This was a hole in the wall at the top of the big hill we hiked. It was the only opening from the way we came up to the other side of the hill. As soon as we passed through to the other side, all the sounds of the city down below were cut off. The deep valley we were looking into was quiet and peaceful. The small church or chapel was down below and we hiked over it to it next.

Picture 2: A look at the Montenegro flag and Bay of Kotor. It was a great day for a hike even if it turned to misting a few times. We were very nearly within the cloud level.

Picture 3: A view of the walled city (where we stayed) during an early part of our hike up the hill to the ruins.

Picture 4: The street outside of our hostel. That is the hill in the background we hiked up. The streetlamps were very pretty especially with the wet ground and cloudy dusk. The mist on the hill was also beautiful to watch.

Picture 5: One of the first sites we saw when we arrived in Kotor. The crystal blue-green pond water looked clean enough to drink. The vastness of the hill was also in the first impressions. I think I would definitely enjoy coming here again.
