sunday we took the (very late, very hot) bus from dubrovnik to kotor, montenegro. we found a bank machine and a taxi and arrived at our
apartment in dobrota. first impressions were a little shaky. for one thing we were
starving and very very hot. my phone wouldn’t work and we didn’t have keys. it
was SO hot. but marko turned up and we got settled and had a bite to
eat. it takes a little getting used to – it’s not as accessible as a greek
island but the view is breath-taking and the gin is cheap!

on monday we walked along the bay to the town of kotor
to stock up on groceries and get cash. food is super cheap. we spent the
afternoon swimming in the apartment pool and then at a beach bar where you sit
on comfy chairs drinking beer, then swim, then have another beer. bliss.

it is a lazy afternoon – n is still napping. i got up
early this morning and went for a (very hot) run. we had breakfast on the
terrace, a lazy coffee at the restaurant at the bottom of the steps, a swim and
snorkel (a hundred shiny tiny rainbow fish…), lunch and reading on the terrace
again then naps when the sun chased us in.

yesterday we had our sail on the monty b - a 40 ft yacht. it was amazing – we even got to sail! n tacked and helmed the boat. there was loads of swimming. i even got to
jump off – twice!

the taxi driver yesterday said it’s been the hottest summer
– drought and stupid hot. he says he quite likes the idea of london’s 10 degrees
and drizzle. i think i can wait awhile though…
