From Kotor we drove up into the mountains to Lovcen National Park. The roads were narrow with lots of hairpin turns. Views were fantastic.

Picnic area.

Next we drove to Durmitor National Park. Again the roads were narrow, winding and CLIFF HANGING.

Hwy E65 following the river canyon. It had lots of tunnels.

We encountered a road block. They were not motivated to get out of the way no matter what the herder did.

The Tara Bridge - There are two zip lines spanning the river, one on each side of the bridge.

If you look closely below the distant sign, two people are zipping across the river.

A storm moved in and it snowed.We were over 5,000 feet in elevation.

Is it really May 20th?

Now off to Bosnia.

Montenegro - This tiny country was a surprise to us. We didn't know what to expect. It is beautiful and very rugged.

There are a lot of stairs to the top, 1350 in 1200 meters. That is a lot of elevation in a short distance.

Going down was not as bad as going up. You could enjoy the view.
