We may not be quite the most invasive species, but we are the only one which introduces other invasive species (including molds, bacteria and viruses) everywhere. "It's in our DNA" - or at least in our seminal and œstral juices.
The photo is of Kotor, Montenegro, which my mother and I visited by bus in 1959, when it was a very quiet, small town in Yugoslavia, not far from the Albanian border. Almost at the beginning of the spoliation of the Adriatic, we had taken a ferry from Venice, via Split and Rijeka to Dubrovnik, where the few tourists were German. We had travelled to Venice via the Simplon Tunnel from Paris on a very tired Orient Express, which, I think, didn't chug any farther.
