Three countries on this trip will not suffice. Departing
from Dubrovnik, we estimate it will take an hour to get to Kotor, Montenegro. We didn’t anticipate the dirt and gravel
roads. The drive indeed was
interesting. The drive around the bay was again, breath-taking. Clear waters,
so blue. Gorgeous coastline.
Upon arriving in Kotor, I could tell I would be underwhelmed. Massive cruise ships were docked in the harbor. More toursits. Hotel Astoria, our four star home (I was reminded by the front desk staff at least three times during check-in that they were four star) for the next two nights, seemed like a nice place. (Can you sense some foreshadowing?)
Upon checking-in, I ran up to the room to use the bathroom. As I sit down on the toilet, I carefully close the bathroom door—it’s glass. Said glass crashes down on top of me…raining over me like a hail storm. (Yes, I’m sitting on the toilet-peeing)
Really? Lost luggage, Bike accident, and now glass falling on me? I buy a haulite necklace. While this stone is supposed to be for Libras—it is also used to calm people. I need to be calmed at this point. I wear it immediately.

After exploring the old city—again tiny enough to exlpor in
an afternoon, we decide to have drinks on the square outside the hotel. The
menu included “fried foie gras.” I’ve never had FRIED foie gras, and
since foie gras is currently banned in California, I don’t think I’ll have an
opportunity to try it soon…so I order it. So rich. So fried. So sick.
