Let's dance the Balkans stage 1 Dubrovnik-Kotor part 3 We then reach the coast by road, where there are still some iron railway bridges (unfortunately, I was unable to photograph the one in Igalo). We thus arrive at Zelenica, where the old railway line ended. The long subsequent stretch to be covered on the coast on an asphalt road and some stretches on sidewalks or cycle paths is interesting but the August period does not make things easy for us. Lots of cars, lots of pedestrians, so much heat. Exhausted we stop at a kiosk on the road to eat lots of fruit and drink: as much fun as being 2 dirty and satisfied teenagers. We then arrive at the small ferry in Lepetane and are pleased to discover that it is free for pedestrians and bicycles (thanks Montenegro!). We are now inside the fascinating Bocche di Kotor, a double gulf with a very small opening to the sea no more than a kilometre long. As fascinating as it is unique! In the background high parched mountains. We cross and have yet another surprise of the day: the internal road to the gulf, towards Kotor, has remained (after the construction of some tunnels) a small narrow street right on the shore of this stretch of sea that is perpetually calm, with many fishermen's houses and some typical restaurants. Afternoon, favorable shadows on the road. We reach Kotor. I'll add a gem: We are staying at Art House. Inside a building from the socialist era in a dilapidated state of semi-abandonment, a corpulent man shares his apartment with passing guests, sleeping in what was once the living room, now divided with plywood from the bedroom he rents. The entire apartment is covered with paintings by this "rambling" painter. If you don't suffer much from heart problems, and you love detective novels, this is the place for you! We still have energy to visit Kotor in the evening, but I'll stop here
