3 October 2023 Budva: The Citadel Library and Ship Models

                                       

We had to pay 9 euro to enter the Citadel where there was a library and some ship models.  We were also able to get to the upper parts of the Citadel where we got even nicer views and a huge breeze.  The sun was shining and the rocks were toasty from the sun.  So the breeze was most welcome.  We stopped in for a snack that ended up being a full lunch.  Back to the pad for some digestion and a few loads of wash.


The gates through the walls


Classic old mosaic 


Narrow streets


Some Roman "pylons" or foundations from the 6-7th century BC


Ancient indeed


The pylons were in the center of a store


Our lunch


Right next to the bell tower


There are residences that the access is restricted


The library was very extensive


With marble statuary


And a refurbished stairway


The ships represented many different millennia 


From Spanish King's yachts to Phoenician rowing ships


Gilded was ships


The Phoenicians 


The HMS Bounty, pre-munity


The Santa Maria on its way to the New World


and we exit...


It has been 1 year and 120 days since we started our Migration
