Journey home (forgot)
12 de junho de 2023, Inglaterra ⋅ ☁️ 27 °C
Having got to the airport in good time, given back the terrible Dacia we checked in, got rid of the bags and headed for departures.
Then the storm came...
Nothing could land, one or two brave pllots took off, bouncy bouncy.
Finally, via flight radar we learned that all flights to our part of Europe had been redirected to Italy.
Eventually we got home at midnight instead of late afternoon.
So, knowing now what we do about Albania, would we still have gone? Absolutely.Leia mais

Dia 8
Last full day
11 de junho de 2023, Albânia ⋅ 🌩️ 24 °C
Early report today. Has been gloriously sun-filled, we did our sightseeing, got a taxi back to the hotel and, as I retrieved my now dry socks from the balcony, there was a huge clap of thunder. We have been watching the rain and storm for around half an hour.
We walked all around Central Tirana seeing squares, government buildings, a bunker, markets, mosques, clock tower and even a pyramid.
Pooped!Leia mais

Back to Tirana
10 de junho de 2023, Albânia ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C
After a very lovely breakfast we departed our Vlore hotel and drove just a few miles along the coast to Old Town for a walkabout and a drink to cool us down. It was a 30 degree hot and sunny day by midday.
Then onto Tirana where we will be spending 2 nights.
Once the road network had been figured out and our tempers cooled we found our hotel. So far so good.
A beer in a local bar followed by a decent Italian meal meant an early night and hopefully a good slumber ready for mega sightseeing tomorrow.Leia mais

Vlore
9 de junho de 2023, Albânia ⋅ ☁️ 20 °C
After a terrific breakfast and sad goodbyes with our hosts we set out for Vlore along one of the many new roads in the country, still constructing as we zoomed by in places.
So Vlore, it's like Nice. Wide boulevards, lovely beach, crystal clear water and bars and restaurants. 29 degrees too!
Our hotel is just one year old and they upgraded us to a suite but then, oh dear, thd music from the rooftop bar started up and the aircon packed up.
We moved to a quieter room but it appears the aircon throughout the hotel is down... C'est la vie as they say in Nice.Leia mais

Day around Borsch
8 de junho de 2023, Albânia ⋅ ⛅ 24 °C
Too hot for the beach so a journey to a national park was on the cards. After an hour of twists, turns, and death if you go over the edge type driving, with another hour of the same to go, we called it quits and went to Borsch beach and a lovely hotel for lunch.
After a perilous drive back we lounged on thd balcony, snoozed and read books.
We have been invited for dinner with the owners tonight so just about to get ready.
Vlore tomorrow.Leia mais

Dia 4
Journey to Sarande
7 de junho de 2023, Albânia ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C
So, a brief recap of things forgotten. Yes we did see a 3 foot snake crossing the pavement and yes, we did drive through the heart of Albania's oil fields. Scary, and smelly sums them up.
Anyhoo, bit of a cloudy start this morning but the sunshine arrived as we did to Sarande. Hit 29 in the late pm.
Guest house on a hill, lovely balcony, terrace, and views. Restaurant tonight high on a hillside. Oh God! Bit high for me.
Went to buy two bottles of water in local supermarket and were given them as a gift as the owner is friends with our hostess. They are very kind people.
Parking in Central town is awful so we're off out of town tomorrow.Leia mais

Arrival/evening in Berat
6 de junho de 2023, Albânia ⋅ ☁️ 21 °C
En route to Berat a quick pop into Tirana was the plan. We overlooked the Nazi style driving of Tiranian drivers and poor road layout. Wow!
Anyhoo shops visited and lunch had and we were on our way to hotel Klea in the grounds of Berat citadel lying high above the town.
Dinner in the Hotel Garden followed by a walk around the castle area as the sun set and darkness fell over mid Albania.Leia mais

Blerina Farmhouse
5 de junho de 2023, Albânia ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C
Chosen because of vicinity to airport when we thought we were landing later but what a pleasant surprise.
New Guesthouse built within a farm.
Dinner, which was included, was Greek salad without the olives, roast tomatoes in a lemon and thyme dressing, spinach puff pastry with yoghurt, home made bread, stuffed peppers with rice and mince, finished off with a lemon posset.
We forced down a couple of local beers.
Breakfast Is also included all for £75.
We went to a local store for 2 bottles of water, litre of milk, 2 bags of crisps, big bag of car sweets plus a packet of biscuits. All for £4.60 plus the owner then gave us an ice cream each for thanking us for shopping there!Leia mais

A bit of a cheat really, calling this day one of our Albania trip.
We've got as far as the Premier Inn in Longford, quite close to Heathrow.
Albeit the sun is shining, it's 23 degrees, and we have just had a very nice pub meal.Leia mais
