Spent 4 days in Monte Negro and saw most of Monte Negro renting a car for 3 days. We drove to Dubrovnik in Croatia and walked round the walls of the old town. We met up with Daniel Walker who has lived in Kotor for six years and spent a day driving round the Fiord sightseeing and looking at his various property developments.The last day Daniel gave us directions for a stunning tour up in the mountains.25 hairpin bends taking us to Cetinje at 1324 metres.where there is a plateau famous for it's smoked ham.From there back down to the coast and the city of Budva and a small resort called Prznno to a delightful restaurant called Blanch for lunch. We travelled back past the airport and to Porto Monte Negro where we met up with Rob Lythgo who was staying on his Beneteau 50. We had a look at a Discovery 55 "Chance Discovery" which is up for sale. Finally back to Kotor and Festina to return the car, check out of Monte Negro and prepare for departure in the morning.
