Montenegro - Here we come!

Day 56:
One day of break in Durres was not enough - hurting legs and a lack of motivation to walk on made us prolong our stay for a day more. We spend the day with excessive relaxing, stretching our muscles and watching TV...

Day 57:
Ahead of us is a long, long day...34km along a heavily trafficked road...But in Albania we practically depend on Hotels, so we have to push it sometimes...After such a long day our tired legs really enjoy a good night's sleep!

Daz 58:
A quiet day along a smaller road - We make a little detour but it's still much better than walking along the big road.
This is one of the days where we see that Albania is a very different world far, far away from the well-ordered Europe. First we cross a river that has a milky white colour and smells heavily of sulfur (environmental restrictions for the industry seem not to exist). Later in Lezhe we saw a 17 year-old driving a brand new big Mercedes while smoking one of the biggest joints we've ever seen...

Day 59:
Again a quiet, nice, sunny day along small roads and an invitation for coffee at a small shop... In the evening we indulge in burgers and fries - what a great day!

Day 60:
Another day along a big road where nothing really happens...

Day 61:
A short day to Shkoder, the biggest city in the north of Albania. Supposedly it's the most beautiful city in all of Albania...and we think this is right - beautiful churches and mosques, nice cafes, an old fortress and even a pedestrian area!!!
We find a nice hotel that even has a BATH TUB!!! - After improvising a plug (out of a bottle cap and a meter of tape) we enjoy the hot water surrounding our body from ALL sides - What a pleasure for our tired legs!

Day 62:
Again a daz of break that we use for sightseeing, internet research and Co. Tomorrow we are heading to Montenegro. We are really excited what awaits us there....
