    Montenegro -> Albania -> Macedonia

    August 16, 2019 in Albania ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

    Tirana is quite a boring former communist city with chaotic traffic driving into city Center.

    Lunch is the highlight - we have lamb on yogurt and mixed meat in a pot cover with ricotta cheese. The best meal in this trip.

    Ohrid is a very relaxing lakeside holiday resort. The hotel is only 20m from the beach where I dip my toes in and watch the sunset. The place feels like back in the Kinnert. A crystal clear lake is surrounding by mountains with a tranquil energy.

    The evening is the standard Balkan cultural performance. The real fun starts when we hit Cuban Libra. Five Cuban dancers come out as soon as we arrive and dance solid for two hours to modern Latin music. I have so much fun following their moves and dancing to musics I love! We leave at around 1am - I will pay for it the next day though I know!

    Budva, Tirana, Ohrid
    Hit the road after breakfast, next stop Albania! A panoramic city tour of Tirana will introduce the best preserved and most beautiful samples of Albanian architecture, and drop us off at the town centre for some free time to discover the bustling Skenderbeg square. In the afternoon, continue towards Ohrid, Macedonia and check-in to your comfy hotel. You can rest up after a long day, or join the optional Balkan night with dinner.
