Fjords of Kotor
Croatia, Crossroads of Empires: Crete to Venice
Today was another beautiful day on the Med—or I should say Adriatic Sea. We entered the ‘fjords’ of Kotor at 0700 this morning and took on the pilot. He and the Captain navigated us through the Kotor Gulf, skirting the little islands and passing small hillside village towns. We arrived in darling Kotor around 9 and immediately disembarked for our walking tour—a few passengers commented that it’s like a Hollywood set, it’s so perfect! Kevin and I took the hikers 1,617 steps up to the fortress that overlooks the town and the bay. There were great views of the ship and lots of people were ashore…In the late afternoon we set sail for Dubrovnik and arrived at sunset. It was gorgeous… Everyone was on the top deck and eager to go ashore. Le Levant’s tenders shuttled people back and forth all evening; many of us took the opportunity to enjoy the evening, walking around the old city’s beautiful medieval streets.
