The joys of cruising are diverse and there is something about every day that brings one type of benefit or another. \u00a0The last two days have given us both ends of the rainbow.<\/p>\n

Saturday we arrived in Bigovo, a small quiet town in a big bay in Zaliv Traste. \u00a0The bay captured every breeze and we had a swim before lunch on Mercier. \u00a0We then unloaded the zodiak and motored to the village. \u00a0A local came and took our lines and told us to tie up to the dock and helped us ashore. \u00a0We went to the a stone cafe with open rooms in deep shade to have a drink. \u00a0The cafe was filled with curios and artifacts, the\u00a0ceiling was a mass of nets like sharks fins. swordfish bills and a giant lobster carcapace. The walls held photos of fish that had been caught and dogs that kept the fishermen happy. Alas no Aperol Spritz! \u00a0Mineral water and beer had to suffice.<\/p>\n

After a small walk along the waterfront, Louise swam back to Mercier, while we motored back for a swim. \u00a0Once back on Mercier we were all in the water, beating back the heat of the day and enjoying the quiet relaxing pace of Bigovo. In the cool of the evening, we watched a young fisherman lay his nets in the sunset.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, we had a short , leisurely motor to Porto Montenegro, a new, terribly- swish resort. \u00a0This may have been the nicest marina we have been in, clear instructions on where to go and ultra-clean modern facilities. Wonderful showers are available, something those at home might not even consider, but luxury here.<\/p>\n

We walked to old Tivat, but it was hot and Sunday and hot.<\/p>\n

Great shops, markets and wonderful cafes and some of the best ice cream we have had en route.<\/p>\n

Louise and Gaila did a tour of some lovely shops (lovely airconditioning) and purchased sarongs. As glamourous as it is, you can’t jump into the marina to swim and cool off and the boat doesn’t swing to capture the breeze on the bow.<\/p>\n

Here’s the thing, we have enjoyed both immensley.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
