To say that working fifteen
years in sales and customer service was a complete waste my real talents and
passion is a bit harsh. Thanks to those
years on the job, I can honestly say that its not hard to get most people to
open up to me and it takes no more than sixty seconds of dialog to find common
ground with complete strangers. Today,
that came in handy when I found myself stranded in Herceg Novi, Montenegro an
hour up the coast and still a short but complicated 50 kilometers from
Dubrovnik, Croatia.
His name escapes me. What I do recall is that it took inside a
minute to find out the he and I were both bike commuters, marathon runners and
fans of Pink Floyd. And ten minutes
later that local was leading to the center of Herceg Novi and on to the beach
across the bay from famous Kotor for more the spectacular mountain-meets-sea
views I’ve come to love along the Adriatic coast of Montenegro.
And I did finally get to
Dubrovnik that night!
That looks like a perfect spot for an open water swim, if not for Nessie...
