Cetinje

We learned last year just how much rain can fall in November and December; so we know to take advantage of a dry fall day. On just such a day, we took a drive to Cetinje, the historic and royal capital of Montenegro. Limestone mountains surround the city, including Mount Lovcen, the inspiration behind the name of Montenegro; Crna Gora (Black Mountain). And home to the Mausoleum of Petrovic.  

To get to the Mausoleum, we had to climb up 461 steps to the top, a challenging task with a toddler who just got up from his nap. Passing the Mausoleum, there's a narrow walkway with a thousand-foot or so drop on either side. Scary for "some" of us.

After, the kids rode their bikes in the center of town.
