This morning we left Plataria and made our way through the Greek boards to Albania. Albania is one of the few remaining corners in Europe where it wouldn't be unusual to pass a donkey and cart on the road. The people are friendly, welcoming, and passionate about their home, although at our accommodation tonight their are security guards and cameras. Also another interesting thing is when they say no they shake there heads up the down but in Australia that would mean yes. Before reaching our accommodation we had a local guide give us a tour of the capital, Tirana (unfortunately we didn't stop so i didn't get any photo's) before we head to our luxurious accommodation (not!). It's spacious and we are not living on top of each other but the shower head I have to hold and their are no towels, I really wanted a clean towel after three days out at sea. The Albania government pulled up some of their roads to stop invasion into Albania, hence the gravel, pot hole roads.
Did you know that Albania was the birthplace of mother Teresa and because of her religious background after leaving Albania she wasn't allowed to return. Also their are over 700,000 bunkers in the hills of Albania these were made to house every four inhabitants should conflict arise
Early start tomorrow going to Croatia!!!!
Love Cherie
