Today we are in Kotor, Montenegro. Chad got up at 5am to watch us sail in through the fjords. Seeing as how we stayed up till almost 1am watching the help I was not as enthusiastic. I did however wake back up at 6 and saw land ahoy so I hopped out of bed. We were supposed to be off the boat tendering in at 7 but it ended up being 8am before we were on land in Kotor.
