Day 16 · Sat, June 27, 2026
Luštica Bay · Radovići · Boka bay · marina village · Montenegro
The route, drawn quietly
Marina coffee, long swim, late lunch. Nothing to prove. — The white wine arrives, and Natalia smiles the smile her mother brought down from Siberia: it's never cold enough.

The Planned Day
Written before the day was lived. Held lightly. Will be replaced as it happens.
The shape of the day
The one excursion of the week: across the bay to Perast. From the south side it's a real outing — drive the long way around through Tivat, or take the Kamenari–Lepetane ferry and shave off the loop. Boat to Our Lady of the Rocks at golden hour, dinner on the water, headlights home.
What to do
- 01The ferry crossing — five minutes, but it changes the feeling of the day.
- 02The boat ride at golden hour — water glass, mountains pink.
- 03The small museum inside the church — embroidered icons made from human hair.
A loose rhythm
- Late morningDrive to the Kamenari ferry. Cross. Carry on to Perast.
- AfternoonBoat. Island. Slow walk through the village.
- EveningLong dinner. Drive home in the dark, headlights skimming the bay.
Why this day
One outing in a slow week is a gift. Six is a job. Today is the gift.
How it will feel
Reverent without being solemn.
Practical notes
- · Last Kamenari ferry runs late — but check the night schedule before dinner.
