Kotor

Day Ten, 2.24.2009 Today we explored more of the mountain that we had climbed the side of the day before. We made it as far as we could up a little river gorge, then turned around and used the trail all the way up the mountain. The trail used to be cobble stone all the way up, which is incredible given the rough terrain and the length of the path. At the very top of the mountain was a tiny, old church and graveyard. It was not in any of the guidebooks or tourist literature, but was nevertheless one of the coolest things I saw there. (see picture). We thought we were completely alone, and we basically were except for one random guy who walked by (I don’t know possibly where to) and a couple of cows and horses. We spent a while photographing the area. There was also a huge pit/basin at the very end of the path, but it was surrounded by rounded mountains. Hard to explain, but it was on a vast scale. One of the best places to hear your echo I have ever been. We headed back as it was getting dark and got dinner at the same place as the night before (which is also the same place we had breakfast).
