It's been a busy couple of days! Would recommend that anyone visiting this area take at least a day trip to Montenegro and the Bay of Kotor. It was a fantastic time...and the bonus was our driver gave us not only a great commentary on the area, but also a first person account of the Siege of Dubrovnik (defending their city from the Serbs and Montenegrins) in 1991 -1992. Pretty powerful stuff...and not something I would want to experience.
Pepo (our driver) also took us to an awesome restaurant - in the middle of nowhere (at least one in our opinion) where we ate too much, and drank too much - and laughed till we about cried (ok - maybe that was just me; )
We said goodbye to Dubrovnik and the Hotel Excelsior this morning and had Pepo driving us this time to Orebic to catch the ferry to Korcula after first stopping at a couple of wineries (vinerijas), including Grgich (yes the same winemaker as Grgich Hills in CA) and Matusko. Totally believe that we will be hearing about Croatan Wine soon in the news!
Made it to the island of Korcula, and ready for bed.
