Anyone interested in sharing the cost of a driver/guide with my husband and I for a day in Kotor on 5/12 following tour?

Not sure what you have planned with regard to exploring the area, but just thought a heads up about a certain road might be in order. There is a road designated as the P1 road from Kotar to the towns of Njegusi and Cetinje . The views of Kotar and the bay are super spectacular. But, it goes up the side of a mountain and has about 25 numbered 180 degree switchback turns and at least 75 other sharp turns. There's a rock wall on one side and nothing on the other. But, large tour buses do travel this road. Having a driver will be a good choice as it will be hard for anyone driving to appreciate or enjoy the views.
On the other hand, if anyone in your party is prone to motion sickness or has a problem with heights, you might want to avoid this drive. Although it's probably a rare occurrenc, we saw several folks throwing up on the side of the road.
You can go to bing.com, use the map feature, and see aerial views of the road. Googlemaps.com. will also allow you to check it out. On 12 Mar. 2017 there was a thread on this forum titled "Greece Montenegro Croatia". One person included a link to a good map that shows the road, and another person had a link to a video made along parts of the road.
Don't mean to rain on your parade, just offering giving food for thought.
