Climbing the mountains behind Kotor

 After waiting small eternities for the skies to clear so we could climb the fortifications behind teh ancient city of Kotor, we found a few hour window to make the climb amidst cloudy skies and a tough beginning to the day.  While I did my morning routine just fine, Kristin was really dragging.  She managed to spill Cheerios all over our sink and accidentally put her pants on backwards.  I remember thinking, "yup, that's my climbing partner."

Of course, it was more of a pace up a few thousand steps than a true climb.  The weather was less than ideal, but the views were dizzying.

 Kotor 

 Lots of steps - not Kristin's cool fanny pack

 Most of the old forts are in ruin, and we were able to explore the remains

 Steps to getting lost  for the third time 

 This reminded me of Tikal in Guatemala 

 Our clearest day yet!

 Just a little further 

 We are really high now 

 Pretty steep

 Imagine standing here while an army approaches from below 

 A guy selling sprites always ruins it

 Overgrown forts
