Kotor and its bay

The road from the national park to Kotor follows an incredibly winding road (19 curves right along the mountain) down to the coast. Since we arrived in Kotor quite late and there was no campsite available, and our app didn't show any useful information on where we could stay overnight, we started searching for accommodation... We found a hostel right at the harbor, which was brand new and nicely furnished, although only with 8-bed rooms. But it didn't matter to us as we urgently needed a shower and the rooms were nice. Just as I was freshly showered in the bathroom, someone else came out of the shower.... and I could hardly believe my eyes: Laura, the Australian we met for the first time in Greece on Mount Olympus, laughed just as much as I did and we spent the evening together eating and chatting. Her next destination was Dubrovnik too, so we made plans to meet there... What a coincidence.

We visited Kotor the next day. It has an incredibly beautiful old town (UNESCO), with many old buildings, charming streets, and a great view of the bay and mountains. A funny sight are the huge cruise ships that dock in the small (but deep) bay.

But we continued on to Dubrovnik as our ferry to Italy was booked. We continued along the bay, passing through the small town of Perast, towards Croatia.
