Kotor, Montenegro

 


We left Ft Lauderdale,  Florida on April, 11 on the Celebrity Equinox.  Both on the water and on the land we’ve have really nice weather.  There’s only been a few hours of slightly bumpy seas, a little rain and temperatures that have been pleasant.  

We woke up this morning thinking that today might be our first real weather washout.  Not only was it raining hard, but there was also frequent thunder and lightning.  This was really disappointing because sailing into Kotor is absolutely incredible.   

Sailing in under the clouds!

Kotor is a small town that has a population of around 15,000.  It is located in the Bay of Kotor, a narrow bay where shear limestone cliffs and mountains several thousand feet high drop practically straight down to meet the water.  

We’re not “cat people”, but this was a nice photo op.  Kotor has hundreds of feral cats around the old city.  

We had been here once before years ago on a day trip from Dubrovnik.  It’s amazing to see any way you arrive, but it’s especially dramatic arriving by water.  It’s easy to see why Kotor has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage site.  

Ready for the weather!

Thankfully a few hours after we arrived the rain let up enough that we were able to get off the ship and spend a few hours walking around inside the walls of the old town.  Today’s story is probably better told in pictures than words!
