The story behind this image

I'm stood on Deck 10 of the P&O liner Arcadia, gawping in awe as the fantastic Montenegrin coast slips by on both sides of the ship as we sail up what amounts to a fjord on the way to our berth at the historic town of Kotor.

Just as we turn eastwards by the village of Perast there are two very photogenic islands off our port side.

One houses the Our Lady of the Rocks chapel and this one, called Sveti Dorde, houses a Benedictine monastery and graveyard dating from the 12th century.
