We were desperate to escape after many months of lockdown…so we did. Just one night at the Regent in Tivat, Porto Montenegro was enough to recharge (for a while…). We enjoyed a much-needed change of scenery, pampering at the spa, and strolling alongside the yachts and cruisers.
Hello, World!
For Labor Day Weekend 2021, we stayed at an Air B&B in Donja Lastva. September is the beginning of the offseason -- less crowded and with somewhat warm water temperature, we got to enjoy some quiet time in our little spot with long walks and morning rides on our stand-up paddleboards (SUP). Annika learned how to maneuver her SUP all by herself!

Last week we took a boat tour of Kotor Bay with Captain Ivan (perhaps Wilco’s biggest fan, but that’s a story for another time). There's a lot of history here, most notably the plethora of fortresses and Catholic Churches -- both of which served as fortifications against the Ottomans when the bay was under Venetian rule. The most famous church is Our Lady of the Rocks sitting on an artificial island built over the years by sailors laying rocks after a successful sea voyage. You can also see various relics from the Cold War -- tunnels along the coast built to hide Yugoslavian submarines and boats. Some people now use the tunnels for "cliff" jumping (notably, not us). Although the water was cold at 68F, we did jump in to explore Blue Cave, aptly named because the reflecting light from rocks and sand give off a blue color.
We stayed at the lovely Carrubba hotel in Donja Lastva, just outside of Tivat.
