After our first two weeks in Kotor we moved to Becici, just on the outskirts of Budva, for the last three weeks of our time in Montenegro. We were so disappointed to leave the beauty of Kotor and the surrounding area but were feeling optimistic about being right on the Adriatic Sea where the temperatures would be even hotter than […]
Before arriving in Kotor, we were well acquainted with the term “Cats of Kotor”. When the girls were devastated to leave all their kitty cat friends in Morocco, we were able to soothe them slightly with the promise that Kotor was famous for all the cats they had. And wow, do they ever have a lot of cats! However, unlike […]
The Bay of Kotor is surrounded by a minimal stretch of flat space before being surrounded by mountains. The mountains are steep and impressive looking. You can hike up to the top in some areas, some areas are accessible by a road and/or cable car, and some are completely inaccessible. The first hike up above the Bay that we did […]
The Bay of Kotor is gorgeous, and all around the entire perimeter, you find cute town after cute town. Most are incredibly tiny, some with no amenities, just houses. But some are slightly bigger and have a restaurant or two. Once you get further away from Kotor, you find other larger towns, as well. We wanted to get out and […]
We were originally supposed to spend five weeks inside the walls in Kotor. Due to the last-minute cancellation by our host, we needed to pivot. We managed to find somewhere to stay here for two weeks, and then move on to Budva for the following three weeks. For the second time this year, we got to spend time with family! […]
After our morning in Trieste, we headed to Croatia. By the time we got into Zadar, where we booked three nights, Emmeline was very low energy. We walked into the old town for dinner, hoping she was just run down from a couple of long travel days. She woke up the next morning with a fever. While he didn’t have […]
We flew from Marrakech to Milan, where we picked up our lease buy-back car we will have now until the end of July. We have mostly relied on public transport and our own two feet most of this year so far, except for 1.5 months over the winter when we rented a vehicle for Germany and Spain. We decided having […]
Three weeks flew by in Morocco. During this year away, we normally don’t eat out in restaurants much or do big tours. We are trying to live a more authentic lifestyle, not have a fancy 14-month-long vacation. Which, to be honest, would bankrupt us! We aim to experience living in other countries. We don’t just go to new places and […]
I absolutely adore argan oil. I use it daily on my face. And while we made three 100 mL bottles during our cooking class experience, I decided that wasn’t enough. I wanted to grab two more bottles before we left. We went out on our last evening, shortly after 5:00 pm, to walk over and buy it. While buying it, […]
