All good things must come to an end… at least for a short time. It was a great trip. I am now a giant fan of the Balkan and look forward to spending years exploring the entire region. Time to take a quick look back at the past month, things I will miss… Click on the photo to see some additional pics…
Our whirlwind excursion took us back over the mountains, along the seaside and finally to our flat in Tirana. One thing we noticed in the many miles traveled… there are fruit stands EVERYWHERE! We saw them in town, on the side of the highway and by the beach. Fresh fruit is easy to find! Click on the photo (or title) to see some of Albania’s beauty!
A little mixture of yesterday and today. The unexpected day continues on and there may be even more tomorrow. To see what we did and, click on the photo (or title) and follow us on our journey!
What a day! Much more than we could have hoped for! Come along and explore from the mountains to the sea… to the mountains to the sea again. Click on the photo of Kruja Castle to see where our adventure took us!
For five days now, I’ve debated opening the door to the back of our flat building. I see it… it’s a bit of a shortcut to some of the places we could go (especially the place we went to go tomorrow). Not sure if was a warning that alarms would sound, we stayed away. Today I took a photo and went to google translate…
No alarm will ring. It was simply asking to close the door because closing the door keeps everyone safe. Thank goodness for google translate!!!
After walking from shop to shop, through the big mall and what seemed like everywhere beyond… we finally found a universal converter (called adapter here) directly across the street from our flat! I’m all charged up! It’s Halloween in Albania… pumpkins everywhere! Click on the photo to see more of yesterday’s journey and our relatively lazy day today :-)
It’s a sunny day! Time to check out more of this charming city. Thought this sign was a great reminder: Be Happy! Click on the photo to join us on what we discovered today…
After a broken night sleep, we rallied ourselves to begin exploring the beautiful city of Tirana. Click on the photo to join us on our journey through the streets…
As I promised to everyone I know… the first TWO days would be sleeping, sleeping and sleeping. After a summer of working doubles, followed by a 2000 mile road trip with two Border Collies, I need to catch up on sleep. Day One in Albania… SUCCESS! Click the photo to see my day which involved sleep and eat only.
