This was a great day. Our driver, Tomislav, was a great guide and talked to us about the history of the countries and towns as we drove us. For the history buffs among us, it was great. We stopped in Perast, which wasn't really worth the trip, but then went on to Cotar in Montenegro, which was. We had 90 minutes there to eat lunch and walk around the old city. It was great and worth the drive. We did get stuck at the border coming back, sitting for nearly an hour in the van. That's not his fault, of course, but just something to consider. We would recommend this trip to those want a day trip.
