10/27–Kotor after the climb

After our successful expedition, we walk back down the 1350 stairs counting each one down on the way to Pivo (beer!).  Perfect day for a hike – it’s about 70 degrees, hardly a cloud in the sky, and as we descend the mountain, the sun begins to set and the temperature starts to cool.  Couldn’t ask for a better day.

Meandering through the lanes and alleys, we continue to take pictures along the way.

We finally stumble upon the Local Town Pub.  Perfect!  Wine for me, Pivo for Ed, we cool off – quite literally – while we enjoy our refreshments.

It’s still early, so we continue to explore the town – it’s really quite tiny and enjoyable to walk around.  A couple of stores, a few more photos, and we end up at the church square and Pescaria Dekaderon.

Right on the square it’s the perfect place for another drink – and the “Montenegro Plate” – basically antipasti with a Montenegro twist.

We relax and take more pictures…it’s just that kind of place!

It’s getting dark and chilly, so we head back to the ship, watching the waning light play across the buildings and highlight the mountain in the background.

After nightfall, you can see the fortress and stairs lit up from the ship.  We climbed that!  What a great way to end a great day.
