We enjoyed another day at the beach. We've been in Stomorska, Croatia a little less then a week and we feel at home here. The setting is definitely low key and the part of the town we've mainly been in consists of about half a mile. We've seen the same shop keepers and restaurant folks almost every day. There are a lot of others that have visited, mainly people coming off boats in the harbor but it seems like we have become part of the community. That is only in our minds, but we're good with that.

Jack corrected me on part of yesterday's post. One of our new friends from Germany who shared the beach with us, did change on the beach when I wasn't looking. Today a young lady switched bikinis multiple times. One bathing suit was for swimming and one was for when she got out of the water. At least that's what it seemed like. She tried to be a little discreet but it didn't really work. 

 I think I've swam more in the past few days than I have in the past few years. The water is lovely. I kept the same suit on for swimming and sitting out of the water in case you were wondering.  Jack chatted with the folks from Germany when I was swimming. He learned that they own a place here and vacation here frequently. We also spoke with a woman from Belgium who is staying here for a month and working remotely. 

We had dinner in and walked to town for dessert. There is a pub we like that makes great cheesecake. I've try to get a piece for the past two days but it wasn't ready. They had 2 on display but they need to sit for 2 days before they can put on the topping and open the spring pan. It was worth the wait.  

Today I'm posting assorted pictures from our walks and time on the beach. I wish you could see it in person.

    I'm happy it was worth the wait for the cheesecake but what happened to gelato? As far as seeing things in person - you are doing a great job bringing the sites to us through your words and pictures.

    I'm glad I can share some of our experiences. We will be getting back to the gelato! All of the locals that came into this place were asking for the cheesecake. I figured I should trust their judgement and I wasn't disappointed.

 I can't believe this is our last day. We fly out early tomorrow morning so we are spending the night at a hotel near the airport that has a shuttle. It's a swanky old place We returned the rental car so the end feels real. I'll try to summarize everything after we get home and settled but the bottom line is this has been an amazing adventure. I am so happy I kept this blog so we'll be able to go through it and remember everything we've done. It is a bit of a blur right now.  I do remember what we did today. We started with a nice breakfast at our hotel in Argegno and then drove to Cernobbio. This is a lovely town on Lake Como that we passed on the way to the hotel. It's very small but managed to fit in three churches. It was beautifully landscaped and is home to a very exclusive hotel we weren't able to get near, and some large villas. The downtown was charming and home to assorted restaurants and stores. We were going to have lunch here but decided to get ...

 Today we traveled to Kotor. The journey included amazing views which made our day. We traveled through the mountain area to experience something different. we achieved that goal. Jack liked the drive enjoying all the switchbacks, crazy turns and dangerous narrow roads. I was mostly okay with it. I was terrified at times but the views were amazing. I captured some of it but the pictures do not do it justice. Our room is great but includes an incline and about 80 steps. We should be in much better shape at the end of this trip, or in the hospital. There is a swimming entry to the bay at the end of our driveway. I'm sure we will enjoy this along with the rest of the area.                                                                   View from the road        ...

 We made it! We are in Montenegro. The flight was delayed about a half an hour but that wasn't a problem. There was a baby screaming for about half the trip but I felt more sorry for the parents and people sitting near it than us. Neither Jack nor I got more than an hour's worth of sleep. First lesson of the trip is don't fly Basic Economy on an over-night flight. We were so cramped it was impossible to get comfortable enough to sleep. You know it was bad if Jack didn't sleep. Getting the rental at the airport went vey smoothly and we were off. Jack was a trouper and handled the driving and navigation beautifully. I was completely useless and ended up with a migraine that resulted in frequent stops along the way. Aside from that, the travel itself was as good as we could have asked. We were through the border in less then half an hour. I had read it could take hours. We connected with the car ferry seemlessly, and were on our way through the windy mountain roads. Not id...
