Twelfth Day
A peaceful day on the Montenegrin Riviera.

We woke up after an extremely windy night and set off to the town of Herceg Novi. The city was very congested, and in the end, we were glad that we managed to find a parking spot. We stopped by a local café and then had our last swim in the sea. The beach was rocky, and the water was beautifully clear.
We continued across the Bosnian border to Trebinje. Here, we went for a late lunch at Restaurant Kolo, where the guys also stopped for lunch two years ago during their travels in Bosnia. With full stomachs, we went for a swim in the biotop by the river.
Next, one of the main attractions of our journey awaited us - grandpa Rakija. For context, the guys had visited here two years ago and together with grandpa and his wife, they drank rakija and made a decent purchase of this local grape brandy. We arrived at their house, but unfortunately discovered that no one was home. We decided to go to the town to refuel and then come back to try again. It worked out, and on our second attempt, we were welcomed by an older gentleman and his wife. It wasn't grandpa Rakija, but his brother. We drank rakija together and had a pleasant chat. We bought a total of 13 liters of rakija and said goodbye to the lovely couple.
After a joyful evening, we set up our tent a bit outside the town of Stolac and went to sleep.
