Montenegro was the last stop-off of the Adriatic cruise. A speed boat trip took us around the coast line of the miniature country viewing the clusters of identical villages that sit on the edge on the mountains. The speed boat trip led us to the caves similar to the infamous Algarve caves but on a smaller scale. We swam in the water of caves which was a great experience that I'm so glad I did; because of how deep the water was it would normally hold me back (not a strong swimmer ha). The rest of the speed boat trip took us to one of the popular beaches which was peaceful to relax similar to those in Croatia: crystal clear waters and sea life.
The port we stopped off at was near to the town of Kotor. This is a very old traditional town that has welcomed tourists with its culture despite it's close-knit community. Many shops were selling original pieces of artwork and jewellery prided by the local artists that I myself bought which pictures the typical homes of Montenegro as illustrated in the images below.
Overall photos do not do any justice to the beauty of this country. It is breathtaking to be surrounded by mountains wherever you are and I thought my book (see image below) that I was reading was fitting to the location. Excellent book by the way but who am I to recommend books, read Emily's blog for that ;)
