Kotor

I woke up pale, clammy and shaky and couldn't even carry my backpack (Thanks tour guide who carried my backpack everywhere this morning!).  The walk to the Budva bus station even without my backpack was hard (I'm not sure what caused it, but it thankfully went away by the late afternoon).

After a very pleasant early morning busride from Budva, we arrived into Kotor.  The walk from the bus station was an easy 10 minutes along the water front (particularly easy for me sans-backpack).  We stayed at a lovely, small hotel right in the heart of the old town called Hotel Marija. 

The town of Kotor and its surroundings are truly breathtaking!!  The area is made up of fjords, the largest in Southern Europe.  Nearly everyone on the tour hiked up the mountain (and had breathtaking views in more than one way when it was revealed that a lady in the group ahead of them was hiking in a mini-skirt sans-underwear), and then went kayaking, but as I had felt really ill that morning decided to take it easy and just relax in the old town in the square with a coffee.  Bliss!

Later that night we went for dinner to a restaurant called Pasteria Restaurant in the old town, and we were totally ripped off!!!  When we received our bill there were numerous charges for GARNISHES, even though it stated in the description of the dishes that they were included.  A number of other small charges were added which they supposedly couldnt remember what they were for.  AVOID it at all costs!!!
