The Road to Montenegro

Monday morning we cabbed to the airport to rent a car... thankfully, Clete was prepared with his newly acquired international drivers license.  Driving in the Balkans lived up to the billing and we immediately found ourselves in an extended road work zone with no workers.  After 30 minutes of dirt road followed by a semi-painfully long border check we decided to pull over in Herceg Novi for some breakfast.  We quickly aborted our attempt to get breakfast at a smoke-filled electricity-less cafe, and instead followed Lisa's suggestion to picnic on a nearby castle.  I'll let you be the judge but it might be the best dining view ever.  Good start Montenegro!  (and clearly we're grabbing the computer from each other while writing this)


After brunch it was a short but beautiful Bond-esque 45 minute drive around the bay to Kotor. 


Don't worry parents, Lisa wasn't the one driving when this picture was taken...
