Montenegro in a flash

First I had to exit Croatia and enter Montenegro with all the formalities of customs, stamps, and of course, how can I forget, buying the appropriate cruising permit.

Cavtat, here I cleared customs in Croatia.

In Zelenika I officially entered Montenegro.

After these mandatory formalities, the fun could start.

 View from the"blood smeared" fort in Herceg Novi.

From the blood smeared fort, last modified by the Turks, the entenence of the Bay of Kotor can be seen. Everybody entering the bay is visable, enemy or friend. The fort was giving it's name because of all the people that were killed from the fort. They for example had the habit of throwing burning oil down upon there enemies.



An island with a monastary, and an island with a church.



The church on the left side of the picture is man-made. This island, and the church were build after some local fishermen found a painting of Mary and baby Jesus on a few rocks of the coast. Since many sailors have come to pay there gratitute to Mary after they had survided an ordeal at sea.

Madame Curie moored right next to the church.

Just a picture I like.



Ruine of a church about 900 feet above Kotor.



View from the fortress overlooking Kotor.



No longer drinking cappuccino, but switched to iced coffee.



In Montenegro twice I encountered a thunderstorm. But these were
very well visable from far away!!!



After this thunderstorm at least it is very obvious were to
sail in order to find luck.



Budva.
