Kotor

One day we took a bus from Dubrovnik to Kotor, Montenegro. Throughout its history, Kotor has been under the rule of Romans, Venetians, Ottomans, Habsburgs, Napoleon, and was part of Yugoslavia before Montenegro gained independence. 

One of the most well known sights in Kotor is the city walls. The construction for these walls began in the 9th century and they have been restored several times since their completion. 

When we got to the entrance of the city walls we were greeted by this sweet calico kitten who walked all the way up to the church with us, meowing the entire time. She would pause sometimes (mostly to lick herself) but she would come running to catch up when I would call out to her. 

I was sad when she stayed at the church as we moved up higher to see the fortress. As we made our way back down the path I was surprised to see that she had waited for us at the church for 45 minutes! She came jumping out of the bushes and went right back to her spot walking alongside us. She was the sweetest kitten!

Kotor was very small so it didn't take long to see the important sights plus almost all of the beautiful marbled lanes. Kotor is a great little town, so I'm glad that we popped over for the day.
