5:00 am we came out to see our ship pull into port.

We had an early morning–not just because we got up early to witness the ship pulling into port. I went back to bed for an hour and a half. We had to meet our boat captain at 10:00am and because we could not pull up to a dock we had to drop anchor out in the bay and take a tender (small boat) in to the port. That took almost 20 minutes. We will catch another tender later to get back.

Today was our best day yet. Well, mine and I think John’s. We rented a boat with captain and crew to take us to a beach Radovici Montenegro. The ride out was awesome and it was so wonderful to have all the kids sitting up front laughing and giggling as we hit the waves. Watching them enjoy the ride was truly a highlight for me. It took almost an hour to get to the beach. I want to say it was so worth it and as far as views and the blue water, it was. However, their beach is all rocks. It is very hard to walk on and obviously you need to keep your shoes on because the rocks get very hot and they are super uncomfortable. I was going to go into the water because it was so freaking beautiful and crystal clear but I could not handle the rocks. So I just splashed myself to cool off and then went back to the umbrella and chaise.

There are so many beautiful views going out of the port so I will probably have a photo dump at the end. We left the beach after about an hour and headed to the Blue Cave. I honestly had no idea what that was about but, once we got there I sure knew. OMG! More magnificent blue waters all inside a cave. After leaving the cave we went around the bend and the kids jumped in and swam for awhile before we headed back to the port with a stop in Perast and had a snack and drinks along the water. John bought his magnet and found an ornament for me. It was a long and wonderful day. Shelley and I were ready to go back to the ship and the kids wanted to go with us so we took them while the other adults stayed in Kotor for a bit.

After John got back we headed to the buffet for dinner and then headed to the front of the boat for the sunset. Not much of one tonight but, not going to complain because we have had some amazing sunsets on this cruise. After dinner we met up with the rest of the crew to see a Rock performance. And we waited for 10:00 for the Abba sing along but when we got there there was standing room only. First time we went to the Reflection lounge that it was packed. I know John really wanted to dance but I was too tired to stand around waiting and then standing between songs. I did tell him he could stay out with the kids and I would go back myself but he refused.
