It was raining gently so maybe we will get the salt washed
off EC. John did give her a bit of a brush down in the rain. And I
did my bit by driving through all the puddles I could find.
We
used our last little bit of cash (we thought) and bought fuel, I thought
we had more cash but hadn't had a proper look. The plan was to cross the
border down near Prevlaka, an orange on this side a white in
Montenegro but we came across road closed sign at road works so 14km
back out. We crossed on Jadranska magistrala very easily and quickly. Bought fuel with
euro’s and did a shop for more food. We seem to shop but don't buy
much for the fridge. However I did get a hock for soup 8€, our first
beef 8€ in a while for stew and a chunk of pork loin 3€. So at
least we wont starve. Then of course I found the rest of our Croatian
currency.
Amazing
views along the coast but lots of traffic. We stopped for lunch with
a view of “Our lady of the rocks” a church on a man made island.
A drive through Perast the road right on the sea with very little
passing room. Quaint town.
In
Kotor I walked to the police station to find that I could not register
today as closed come back tomorrow. We continued around the coast
looking for a camp. Very narrow street with no where to get off.
There are little solid jetties out into the bay every now and again
with garden or parking or seating on them. We came across a couple
of guys chatting on one and they waved I got out to ask if we could
stay on it for the night “yeah no problems”. We chatted to Franco
and Michael then Micheal's wife came who had good English. We were
invited back home for coffee. Just 3 houses away. Before our coffee
was even made the Raki came out along with red wind. Both were very
good for home made.
We
chatted for a while learning that they are happy with the tourists as
they have an apartment upstairs. Winter gets boring and towards the
end of summer they want the tourists to leave!!
We
had dinner at Franco’s brothers restaurant. Fried squid.
