It’s that time again, where we pack up and move on. Even though it doesn’t feel like we’ve been here for only two months. And also, as usual, the time has passed quickly! But before we go, here is our list of the ten best things we did, saw, and ate here.
- The view from our flat. It’s been stupendous to look at the water every day, watching it change colour and texture.
- Cats!
- Walking along the water, and especially sitting by it at Platanus (the home of our excellent Thanksgiving turkey pizza).
- Eating seafood nearly every day. We bought it in stores, we ate it in restaurants, we watched it swim in the bay…
- Getting lost in the cobblestoned streets of Kotor old town.
- Shopping at the Saturday market, even though there are things there that we still can’t identify.
- Meeting friendly locals, and learning a little bit about Balkan hospitality from them. Most especially our landlord and Martina at Patisserie by Wine House. Patisserie is our go-to coffee shop in the old town, with excellent pastries and super-excellent staff. And we’ve met a ton of interesting travellers there!
- Rakija!
- Learning more about the older and more recent history of this region, and reading some of the great literature of the Balkans.
- Finally, we loved venturing out near – to Perast and Risan – and far(ther) – to Belgrade, Sarajevo, and Mostar.
So there’s our Kotor top ten! Also, here’s another cat, just because…
