St. John's Fortress |
One man was kind enough to show us directions for how to get
to the top of the fortress of Saint John, and for how to get to the seafood
restaurant I had looked up on tripadvisor. Arielle and I split some sea bass,
and a salad and we all shared some white wine. Then we set out to scale the
side of the mountain up to the fortress. 1,350 stairs stood in our way, and to
say we conquered it would be an understatement. Along the way we stopped
several times to take pictures and catch our breath. Once we arrived at the top
we spent a good 30 minutes relaxing in the sun, and decided to “moon”
Montenegro. On our way back down the mountainside, a kind man pointed out a
secret passageway to us, which brought with it beautiful views of a church and
some nice rock hiking. Making it down was much easier, and Arielle and I spent
the trip talking about marriage, traveling and our life goals.

Our plan was to grab some water, coffee, and beer before
heading back to the apartment. We stopped at the market to get water, and ended
up getting some delicious ice cream while we were there. On the way back we did
end up stopping for a coffee, and a beer for the road, and I stopped to do a
gypsy squat on the way home.
The night continued at the apartment with take-out Chinese
food (the first since I left America) and wine, along with a quick trip to the
super market for chocolate.
All in all it was quite the successful day, as it is not
9:30pm and we are getting ready for bed. We will see you tomorrow Lady of the
Rock!
