Got our passports out for a visit to Kotor in Montenegro. Jumped the queue at passport control on the scooter - at least an hours wait if you were in a car. The scenery in this Fjord is quite spectactular. Driving around the bay with the sound of thunder from the mountains added to the atmosphere. First point of call was the roman ruins at Risan with an unusual mosaic of Hypnos, God of sleep which of course was in one of the bedrooms. Then we travelled onto Perast, a very old fishing port overlooking two islands with chapels. On reaching Kotor we were suddenly overrun with english voices, as the P&O Oriana had just docked. Even though the temperature was soaring into the high 30s Sarah decided we needed to climb the city walls for a better view of Kotor and its position within the bay. Our impressions of Montenegro were very promising, but we need to look into insurance cover for the van.
