Cats in Kotor and road to Herceg-Novi

After seeing beautiful Budva, we headed farther to the northwest to finally reach Kotor. Of course before getting to the second most beautiful city on Adriatic coast, we came across some interesting military bulidings in Rose. I had a feeling like being in Tomb Rider scenery - bunker was hidden in deep bushes and wonderful, big agaves overgrowing it completely. When we were leaving the place, I've noticed the information that entering it is strictly prohibited, but it was too late...
Getting back to Kotor from Rose was short. We noticed Kotor's airport and landing plane on the mountains background - unfortunately it was too late to pull out the camera and airplanes weren't very often here. Finally we arrived to Kotor and even found some cheap apartments. Next day in the morning it seemed to be a sunny day, so we started Kotor visit very early. City is wonderful. People claim that it's second most beautiful city on the coast (after Dubrovnik in Croatia). But in my personal opinion Kotor is better, because it's not so crowded and I don't like crowded places as you probably already know. Our luck lasted only till lunch time, then heavy rain started. We quickly allocated nice seats in one of the restaurants and had very good Vranac and Chardonay wines from local wineries. Because rain didn't want to stop, we decided to go farther to Herceg-Novi and find some place to sleep there. But this city I'll describe later, now please see some pictures from Day 3 of our Montenegro trip and a lot of beautiful places photographed on the way to Herceg-Novi. I'd like to tell you that Kotor is the city of cats (in polish it's even covered by name of the city) and that's why I put here some cat's pictures. Enjoy!
