Okay guys so it is our very last morning here in Kotor and that means one thing.
We still need to show you our apartment so we figured since we're staying in the Old
Town we would walk out to the gates which are quite impressive.
This is the South Gate over here and we're going to give you a little tour.
We'll walk through the old town and take you to our little pad for the week.
So let's go.
So we have now made it to this grand staircase which leads us all the way to the apartment.
This is also where a lot of stray cats hung out.
And we've befriended quite a few of them.
We can hear them meowing.
And that is where we fed them as well.
Yeah.
I think we bought, we ended up buying 4 boxes of cat food.
No, five boxes.
Five.
It was five boxes.
Oh my gosh.
In one week.
They were only 1 Euro each so I feel good about that.
So let's go say hi to the cats and then the apartment tour.
It is sausage cat.
Is our best friend.
I'm a sausage cat.
He likes pets.
And we call him sausage cat because he has the shortest little legs.
And a long body with tiny legs.
Like a hotdog.
He's a low rider.
And he's we've probably fed him more than anyone else.
He's a sweet sweet kitty.
Oh, a little frisky too.
And a little frisky.
He wants to play.
He's been fed so now he wants to play.
Well, shall we go inside?
Yes, time for the apartment tour.
So in we go.
In we go.
Only one door opens of the two.
Yep.
So come on in to our crib in the old town of Kotor (Котор).
Alright.
Let's make sure the cats don't come in.
Haha.
Because they are getting a little bold.
They're getting a little bolder.
Yeah, by the day.
So this is the entrance and I guess the first thing we can show you is the bedroom since
you're standing right there.
Yes.
So lead us in.
So tada.
Yep.
This is the bedroom double bed.
It was a really good mattress.
I slept really well at night.
Um, we have a big window here.
Yeah, we did have a big window.
So yeah and we also had a drawer over here.
Yeah, except we never really unpacked our clothes anymore.
No we didn't.
We just live out of a suitcase so it was like piles of clothes over there.
Yeah.
That is very true.
Also we had I should just point out quickly we had a laundry rack.
Which we did use.
Yes.
We did use that.
We did laundry.
We did laundry once.
Once.
Okay.
So if you follow me I guess the next place we can do is the bathroom.
Yep.
Nearly fell over there.
Um and the bathroom is wet.
It is very small.
Yeah.
It is wet so I'm going to send you in.
Oh lucky me.
Good luck.
I get to get my socks wet potentially.
Alright, I will go in and give a tour and then I will be out in a second.
So yeah, this is just basically your standard bathroom.
There is a small little toilet.
Here is the water heater.
And this is the section where we get really wet.
Like we actually had a towel that got soaked.
And the shower here uh I would say the shower is pretty good.
It had decent water pressure but it did run out of hot water if both of us showered kind
of back to back so that was slightly annoying.
But you know what?
I think that is because I have really long showers.
I know.
I always go first and it is like sucks for you.
It does.
It really does suck for me.
Okay, well this is the room that I really like.
The living area and my favorite thing come closer don't run away would be this like stone
wall.
Yeah.
I think this is just so cool.
It looks really rustic with like the wooden roof, ceiling, yes.
There is the wooden roof.
Haha.
Ceiling.
I think I mean ceiling.
Yeah, ceiling.
We both got that wrong.
And yeah just a nice big couch.
We did a lot of work here, watched Netflix and you can actually turn this into another
bed if you wanted to.
That is true.
People staying here.
That is very very true.
Um so yeah we also had a TV but we just never watch tv.
Nope.
Um, so yeah that is the living area.
You need to turn on the light to the kitchen.
Next yep.
The chicken.
The kitchen.
Oh and the we also worked here but the only thing that was a little bit annoying about
this was just how high the table was.
Yeah.
Like for example show us.
Yeah.
Not great for the shoulders.
I mean I guess it is really good if you don't want to spill your food right but for working
you're kind of like this.
Yeah.
Um, but I mean yeah it was spacious enough for the two of us.
I did quite a bit of cooking here.
You did.
We compared to other places we ate a lot.
Yeah.
We ate a lot in at home.
Yeah.
We ate at home a lot I should say.
And what do you call these?
I think it is basically it is basically a range.
Yeah, it is kind of an electric stove.
That is where we'd cook our pasta.
Yeah.
It was pretty good.
Um, washing machine.
It was a small kitchen but it had everything we needed.
Mmmhmm.
Um, so it was good.
Yep.
And the location of this apartment right in the Old Town.
I mean we're just like a few blocks from the south gate.
Yeah, so that was really cool.
Um, so yeah that was the apartment.
It was small.
It was cozy but it was perfect for two people.
So next let's go to the couch and you can tell us the price.
Exactly.
Alright, let's talk about the mula.
Yes.
How much was this place?
So this place for one week with a discount was $27 US dollars a night.
Yeah.
And I thought that was a steal.
I'm like right now it is November 20th so we stayed from the 13th until the 20th.
Uh huh.
And I'm guessing in the summer this place might run for double or even triple.
Yeah.
I mean the location is unbelievable.
Unbelievable in the Old Town.
Right in the Old Town just like this it has so much charm.
Yeah.
Just incredible value traveling in the off-season this time.
Mmhmm.
Um, in terms of our opinion of Kotor (Котор) we really liked it.
We thought it was a really cool destination.
We enjoyed being here.
Wonderful to walk through the Old Town.
And to hike to the fortress.
Yes.
That was amazing.
Yes.
Hanging out around the harbor was cool.
Yeah, the hike up to the fortress I think was the highlight for both of us.
Yeah.
Um, in terms of like what we didn't love as much.
It was not the best food city.
In fact, I would say for our entire trip in the Balkans this has probably are least favorite
city for food.
We tried eating out a few times and we had kind of okay to average some meals were good
yeah but just like we didn't really click with us.
We didn't find like amazing restaurants that we wanted to return to again.
So that was a bit of the downside.
Also the I should let you know that the city changes completely when a cruise ship pulls
in.
Yeah and that happens a few times a week.
It becomes bananas but then the rest of the time it was so quiet.
I mean it is in the off-season but uh yeah it was incredible how it changed just from
the cruise ship pulling in for a few hours in the afternoon.
But anyways yeah we really liked it here we'd highly recommend you come and yeah do if you
can get a good place in the Old Town definitely do that.
It just makes your stay so much more convenient.
And what is next where are we going today?
What is next.
We have got a long journey of 30 minutes.
Yeah.
Haha.
We're heading to our last stop in Montenegro.
We're going to Budva and we've got six days booked there so stay tuned.
We'll have travel and food video content from there.
Tata.
