Hello my friends. As we continued our Montenegro trip, we wandered through the historic streets of Kotor, visited an artificial island to hear its incredible story on site and experienced unforgettable moments in Sveti Stefan, the pearl of the Adriatic. In today’s post I want to share all of this with you. We went down to the old town, after watching the cool views of the Bay of Kotor from above. Before us stood St. Luke’s Church, one of the oldest buildings to remain unchanged since the twelfth century. This church was originally built as a Catholic church. Later an Orthodox altar was added inside. And it has survived as an Orthodox church until today. It is interesting that Kotor experienced two major and devastating earthquakes in 1667 and 1979. But this building has been completely preserved, with all its stones and its twelfth century structure.

One such adventure was visiting the Eternal Flame Falls in Chestnut Ridge Park, located in the USA. The weather window was not ideal, as it was late autumn and quite wet/cold, but luckily, the trail leading to the falls was not closed at the time. Before even heading out in these conditions, I made sure we had a clear plan and appropriate clothing. In hindsight, it probably was one of the riskier adventures I have done.

Once in Jaca, and after completing the first part of the business we had gone there to do, the first point of interest was the cathedral. The city's shopping streets are located around it, and as the Christmas holidays were approaching, there was a lot of shopping activity. On weekends, they are usually full of tourists.
