Kotor, Montenegro

Scenic sail into Kotor, just a pity it was so early. Could not see the fjord scenery but the sun creeping over the mountains and lighting up the town was really cool, when we were anchored.
The old town itself is really old and quaint with cobbled streets and squares. There were several old Serbian orthodox churches and many palaces. The cathedral is one of the oldest in Europe. The walls which were built by the Venitians extend a mile up the side of the mountain, like the great wall of China. Some folks are doing the 1350 steps to fort at the top, but not us! Kotor is obviously getting very busy and touristy, it's a UNESCO site, but prices were much lower than Dubrovnik and Venice
The sail away as the sun was setting was stunning, just like a Norwegian fjord in fact. Lots of photos!
