A day of planning

As much as I don't like planning I have to play a little bit ahead here. Due to it being peak season the ferry gets fully booked. My plan was to do the Valbona -Theth trek but last night I stubbed my big toe on the slate step on the terrace and this morning it's black and blue but will wait and see how it feels tomorrow. I have new hiking boots and I'm not sure I fancy getting half way up the mountain and having to come back down. I have booked the ferry for tomorrow and my guesthouse for the night so I can relax. Another thing is I really want to get back for the game on Saturday so I'm also trying to plan around that. The great thing is I can leave my backpack at the hostel and I've brought a backpack which I can take my hiking gear in and I will return to Sckoeder to collect before heading to the South. My plan is to get the hardcore stuff out the way to be able to hit the beach and relax. The Terrace hostel is amazing for the money and breakfast is included for 11 euro. I've spoken with the girls and they are going to join me on a sunset ride to Shiroke. Wow it is so hot today I can barely move. The hostel here has a washer and dryer and it's 3 euro so I share a wash with Lexi as I don't have a full load. It's nice to have days where you can just chill and get a few things done. I'm constantly wanting to do things but sometimes I just need to take a breath. We hire the bikes at 6pm and the 4 of us set off for. It's a lot cooler now and the breeze as we are cycling is lovely. The first part of the journey Is great as there is a cycle path, although crossing the 2 roundabouts is a little hairy. We cross the old bridge which lives up to is name and after a 25 minute ride we arrive at the lake. It is so beautiful. We haven't decided to eat here and we each order a dish and share. We order calamari seafood risotto prawns and scallops, but the scallops are actually pork escalopes cream potato and Greek salad it's all delicious. . The ride home is a little more difficult as we're so full. We get back the hostel and chill watching Love Island for an hour before I head to bed for my early start tomorrow.Read more
