Hi Biljana! I just returned from Kotor. The town is so much more fun now and better than it was in 1986. I loved my trip to Serbia & Montenegro. I'll try to get my photos up soon.

I guess you did not walk the walls :-)) Luckily, my friends did some walking before I arrived so I could admire walls while having my coffee fix at one of many nice terraces :-))
