Kotor

 

 

 

On our way to Dubrovnik in Croatia we tried to get to the walled town of Kotor, Montenegro, of which Wendy's friend Von had spoken fondly. So, we thought it might be worth a diversion.

The town is approached by a very long tunnel and traffic was backed up all the way into the tunnel moving at far less than walking speed.

After some time, we noticed a back way on TomTom but after initial success it too was backed up.

The walled town of Kotor Montenegro - seen from around the bay - as close as we could park

 

At least we got to pull off to the water-side and get some distant views.

Getting to Dubrovnik from Kotor required crossing the neck of the Bay of Kotor - there is no bridge but a regular ferry service with two vessels - one each way crossing in the middle.

In Defence of Secrecy

 

 

Julian Assange is in the news again. 

I have commented on his theories and his worries before.

I know no more than you do about his worries; except to say that in his shoes I would be worried too.  

But I take issue with his unqualified crusade to reveal the World’s secrets.  I disagree that secrets are always a bad thing.
