On the highest point of the Rat peninsula in Cavtat we visit the Račić Mausoleum.
It is dedicated to the famous Račić ship­building family and built by Croatian sculptor Ivan Meštrović. It is built entirely of Brač Island stone.

Hello lady!

On the promenade of Srebreno Village there is this lovely bronze statue called Župka.

A symbol of a woman from Župa Dubrovacka region who, with her hard work on the fertile land, carries the fruits of her labour in a basket on her head to the market.

Flat Eric is totally addicted to Cockta.

Cockta is a herbal drink invented early 1950s in former Yugoslavia. In 1952 a Yugoslavian company came up with the idea of producing an original, refreshing beverage which would be able to compete with Coca Cola.

We have reached our next destination, Mlini.
A cute little coastal village in Croatia.
The next couple of days we have time to relax and enjoy the beach, stroll along the seaside promenade and eat and drink local specialities.

Piva Canyon is the other big canyon in the Durmitor National Park, 33km long and 1200 meters deep.
The road goes through many rocky tunnels and driving through the canyon offers spectacular views, with the Durmitor and Maglić mountains rising above.

This is stunning!
Sedlena Greda mountain in the Dobri-Do valley in Durmitor National Park.
The peak has an elevation of 2,227 meters (7,306 feet). 
The name "Sedlena Greda" is sometimes translated as "Saddle of Gods" due to its distinctive saddle shape.

Next stop: the Momčilov Grad restaurant where we found an abandoned ski lift, the first in Durmitor, with great views of Crvena Greda (2,164 metres-7,099 feet), in the north end of the Durmitor Massif.

There is no snow yet and you didn't bring your ski's now did you Flat Eric?
