Serbia and Montenegro

Day 6, June 2nd 2024

The day started off with rain, and some of us were going to visit a smallholding which is halfway up one of hills which surround Kotor on three sides. The bay of Kotor is where Kotor meets the sea.

I was with a small group of friends and by the time we started the sun was shining. 

The uphill walk to the farm was quite challenging but the views we saw were spectacular.

We took solace and shade in an old disused church and we had to shade with a donkey, who had the same idea about keeping out of the sun. 

When we reached the farm we met the family who let us try their homemade lemonade which was now so refreshing. We also tried their homemade prusito ham and goats cheese in a homemade bread roll. 

I found the walking down far easier than the uphill walk. 

We returned to the Sea Gate and we were in time for the coach trip to Lake Skardar. The lake is home to rare birds, amphibians and fish. We travelled to the lakeside town of Virpazar, by coach. We then travelled by boat, (similar to a gondola from Xochomilco, Mexico) to the winery. On the way to the Pjesacac winery we saw a pair of Dalmatian pelicans, these birds are protected.

We had fresh fish, cheese, salad and red & white wine.

We returned to Kotor by boat then coach and went to Moja Kafana for the final VT dinner.

I had a local beer with a starter of Njegush salad with prosciutto, cheese, olives. Main course was Montenegrin steak, baked potato and salad. For dessert I had Krempta (Kotor cream pie).

I spent the end of the last evening with some friends, we had a couple of beers outside the Evergreen Bar.
