Day 10: Kotor Montenegro & Bost ride. Wed

Thi
s is one out of the box! Heather Mosley raved about Kotor. It is utterly superb & worth revisiting. The skies were a deep blue, the huge bay of Kotor was open to large ocean  cruise ships & the waters were a sapphire blue.
All of the sickies were 100% again.
We were taken on a walking around Pervast then a 45 min boat ride, part of which we landed on an islet in the middle of the bay where there was a church " Our Lafy
of the Rocks". The church is from 12th century . The other islet had a monastery on it. No visitors allowed. The boat dropped us at the old walled town of Kotor. We walked for hours in & out of the tiny alleyways, into several churches & restaurants. It was a very long day. We got on the bus at 9:00. Got off at 6:00 but it was soooooo worth it!

Back to the Balkans.

Eastern Europe Summertime.. It was a long flight on Turkish Airlines. Good food, cramped seating. I slept most of the way which l am thankful for. Anne wants to wring my neck! Arrived at our hotel which seemed on the outskirts of Sofia. I slept 10 hours! Unheard of. Off to breakfast & sat with fellow "Trippers" & began sharing stories which is always fun. We met our very handsome Romanian guide Emil & we boarded the bus & took off. There are 36 people on this tour. This is large for me but its incredible by the end of day one you have swapped names , had a few laughs & know that the fun will continue.

Stepped out onto the breakfast deck & looked out over Lake Ohrid. Stunning view. We travelled to the monastery of St.Naum built high on a rock overlooking the lake. Then we went onto the Museum.on Water also known as the Bay of Bones. An amazing archaeological complex of 27 huts, a reconstructed settlement built over water dating back to bet 1200 BC & 700 BC. Late afternoon, we were treated to a cruise on a boat around the edge of the lake for an hour and a half. We had music, dancing, a sparkling wine plus a cocktail of our choice! We were then delivered back to our hotel by boat as the sun set. Lovely!

Day 3: Venturing out in Sofia Bulgaria

First stop to the Museum of National history containing some of the most inspirational artefacts in Bulgaria. This building once was the Presidential Palace under Communist rule. We then did a walking tour to see the Gold domed cathedral of Alexander Nevsky, St George's rotunda built in 4th century, the oldest church in Sofia & a sole mosque, Banda Bashi mosque.  We timed our walk pass some men unloading 100s of cans free beer ! Yay! On a hot day it was perfect. Anne & l spent a glorious hour having  lunch in the Boulevard speaking to a most beautiful woman from Sofia.  7
