Balkans September 19, 2018. Kotor, Montenegro

3:45 pm.  Pretty low key day today.  We walked into the main area of Kotor looking to take a low intensity ride on a water taxi around Kotor Bay.  We got caught up in cruise ship crowds, I got hot and frustrated and Sooz saved the day.  She negotiated a great deal for just us on a one hour ride around the bay.  It worked out great.
We had the entire boat to ourselves with the captain and mate.  It was leisurely, no crowds and the captain and I had a nice chat.  He was a former captain of an international freighter for 20 years, born and raised in Kotor.  Now he and his family own 2 boats and give tours.  He was a very happy man.
He was able to drop us off in front of where we are staying so we didn't have to fight the crowds again.  We sat by the water, I went for a swim and we came back to the room. 
Tomorrow we leave for a one night stay in Serbia, head to Sofia, Bulgaria for 2 nights and back to Bucharest where we turn in the bike and fly home Tuesday. Hard to believe we are winding down our trip.
