We picked up our rental car early in the morning in hopes of getting to the border before it got too crowded. Neither of us have driven a car since we arrived in London, and considering my recent track record of totaling cars (none of which were my fault!), we thought it best that Shane drove. After ensuring that we had all the required paperwork to cross the border and hitting a curb on the way out of the parking lot, we were off!
It took us about 45 minutes to get to the border. We took the scenic route along the Croatian coast. It was beautiful. Crossing the border into Montenegro went relatively smooth - we couldn't understand a thing that the officer was saying but we handed him everything that we had and he let us through. After crossing the border, we continued our drive along the Bay of Kotor.
The Bay of Kotor is breathtaking. The pictures we took don't do it justice, especially since the weather wasn't the best, but we thoroughly enjoyed our drive and could not get enough of the views. We stopped in a small fishing village, Perast, that was located on the north side of the Bay before making our way to Kotor.
After our quick stop, we continued our drive along the Bay to Kotor. Kotor is walled city, similar to Dubrovnik, but on a much smaller scale with the exception of the walls. The walls that surround Kotor climb the mountainside directly behind and above the Old Town.
After spending the afternoon in Kotor, we headed back to Croatia. Border control wasn't as easy the second time around, granted we couldn't understand a thing that the border security patrol was saying but he was definitely yelling and did not seem the least bit happy that we were Americans.
We would have loved to spend more time in Montenegro but were happy with the time that we had.
