Now we come to the fifth part of the tour. As you recall we spent 2 days in Hotel Croatia at Dubrovnik; today's travelogue starts at the hotel on the evening of Day 4. Dinner was free-and-easy, so we opted for a walk down to the town and a tasty seafood platter.
Day trip to Montenegro, one of the countries in ex-Yugoslavia which united the Slav people in the region. This is the Bay of Kotor, a picturesque bay in the country. There are 4.5 million Montenegro people worldwide but only 600k in actual Montenegro. The country is 13,500 sqkm while in comparison, Singapore is 700 sqkm. Montenegro became independent in 2006 after separating from Serbia and was the last to leave the Yugoslavia-bloc in 2006.
