We are still enjoying our little place on Kotor Bay in Prčanj while we wait for our new passports. We made a trip to the US Embassy in Podgorica a couple of weeks ago to get them renewed.

A few days ago our host took us on a speedboat tour of Kotor Bay and then out for a swim off the little island of Otočić Gospa and onward to the Blue Cave. The water was wonderful! Crystal clear and cool, with black sea urchins everywhere in the shallows. And it was so salty! A refreshing swim on a hot day.

Unfortunately the cave is a big tourist destination, so it's usually filled with speedboats packed with people. Luckily, it was much less crowded when we were there in the late afternoon. |

As we headed back to Prčanj, we made a few more stops. First, a visit to one of the old WWII submarine tunnels camouflaged in the hillside. There was only a disused boat inside, but otherwise we had the tunnel to ourselves. It was a bit eerie.

Perast is an idyllic looking village not far from us. On our way back we boated by slowly to get a look. I didn't feel up to walking around town in my swimsuit, and we were tired, so the scenic boat view worked much better than a visit ashore. It also gave us time to stop at the tiny church islet of Our Lady of the Rocks, just a few hundred meters off the coast.

| All the little towns are along the bay, nothing in the hills. And there is one road, and only one road, that wraps around the water's edge. It is a narrow road that miraculously, and frighteningly, accommodates two-way traffic, including buses and large trucks. I have been stuck several times trying to get out the front door. |
