The main tourist attraction in Kotor is climbing the the 1200 steps up to the ruins of St. John's castle - both for the ruins and a beautiful view of the city.
Naturally, we arrived at the top of the fortress, looked out of a broken-down window and the "black mountain" beckoned us. While a jump out of most of the castle windows would have found us at the bottom of a sheer cliff, we found one crumbling window that offered a natural staircase leading to the base of our next challenge.
But that was the easy part. Little did we know that our path would soon be blocked by no less than 50 "killer" goats who at first seemed cute, but were intimidating with their fierce looking horns and evil eyes.
After a near re-route, we preserved and good thing we did because here was the result:
To celebrate, dinner number one was beer and pizza in the main square. This was followed by dinner number two. You can take the Wisconsinites out of Wisconsin, but they will still find fried cheese. And maybe slightly less "native," we also took down a massive fish plate for two.
