Montenegro 14 May: Lovćen - Herceg Novi
We woke up at the foot of Mount Lovćen, the heart of Montenegro. Right at our accommodation place we met school children from Podgorica, from the Pavle Rovinski school...
Probudili smo se u podnožju Lovćena, srca Crne Gore. Baš na mjestu gdje smo odsjeli sreli smo djecu iz Podgorice, iz OŠ Pavle Rovinski...
..we presented the Wordl Harmony Run, then took the kids out on the field...
...predstavili smo Trku harmonije svijeta i izveli djecu na livadu...
..let's run!...
..hajde da trčimo!...
..after the school meeting we went up to the Mausoleum of Njegoš, Montenegro's national hero. The mausoleum is located at the top of Mount Lovćen, and you can really feel the power of this sanctuary, far above sea level...
...nakon susreta sa školskom djecom popeli smo se na Lovćen, kod Njegoševog mauzoleja, crnogorskog nacionalnog heroja. Mogla se osetiti moć ovog svetog mjesta koje se nalazi visoko iznad nivoa mora...
...a tunnel all the way to the top, 461 steps - above 1600m altitude...
...tunel sve do vrha, 461 stepenica - iznad 1600m nadomorske visine...
...the entrance....

...statua teška 28 tona za koju je bila potrebna nevjerovatna vještina da bi se iznijela na vrh. Strop je prekriven pozlaćenim mozaikom...

...a joyful run in the small streets of the ancient city....

...nakon tog susreta smo se uspeli na trvđav Svetog Ivana, koja se uzdiže visoko iznad grada...
...the winged lion, symbol of the former empire of Venice...
... krilati lav, simbol Venecijanske republike...
...a long way up....
..dugo penjanje do vrha...
We were rewarded with a great view over Kotor and over the whole bay....
Nagrađeni smo predivnim pogledom nad Kotorom i bokom...
...after Kotor we went on, all the time along the sea shore...

...to feel joy put you right hand on the heart....the right one!

....NO, on the heart and not on the head...
...NE, na srce ne na glavu...
