Between the end of February and the beginning of March, when Sweden was enjoying its spring break on ski slopes and schools were closed for a week, with three friends I flew south looking for some real signs of spring. We landed in Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina, rented a car, and from there set off on a week-long road trip through three countries. A week is definitely not a long enough time to explore all of the Balkans, but our itinerary was designed to make the most of our time getting to see both some coastal and some inland former Yugoslavia. Our first destination was Kotor, Montenegro.
We climbed up the fortified walls and visited the ruins of the castle of St. John – or San Giovanni, to call it with its Italian name. The castle overlooks the surrounding bay and during the whole walk up the view only gets better and better. Despite the overcast sky and lack of sunshine, the air was pleasantly warm and many trees were already displaying glorious new blossoms. To my delight, spring had made it to Kotor before me.
Beautiful post and lovely pictures, Eva! 🙂
Thank you Anna, you are always very kind 🙂
You’re so kind, Eva, and your posts are always such a delight! 🙂
May I ask which camera do you use?
I’m a Canon user. On this trip I still had my old eos 30D, shortly afterwards I upgraded to a Canon eos 6D, which I currently use. My landscape lens of choice is the Canon 17-40 f4 L, while for food I shoot with the 50 mm f1.4 😉
Thanks 🙂 I am no photographer but I am trying to be one.
