Tirana, Capital of Albania

Walking tour with our local guide Genti who is Albanian and from Tirana. Very proud Albanian. As our accommodation was right next to Skanderberg Square this is where we started the tour. The square is named after James Skanderberg, who is the national hero of Albania.
We visited two churches, both new but in keeping with the old styles.
Mother Teresa came from Albania and they are very proud of that, too.
We also visited a bunker that is now a museum of Art, Bunkart 2, dedicated to the memories of oppression, and the paranoia of the Soviet leaders.
Lunch at a lovely fish restaurant. His wife joined us for lunch which was lovely.
Tirana Skanderborg museum visit. Very interesting.
Small amount of free time- Steve had a massage, I had more street walk on my own then we both had a swim in hotel pool.Read more
