Day 7

Wow. The albanians at the hotel were amazingly generous. They setup an outdoor projector and put movies on for us whilst the owner cooked up amazing pork chops and lamb cutlets.   In the morning the owners son gave us a bicycle escort out of the town.
Albania was a real mix of poverty and begging children and half built concrete constructions with dreadful unfinished or none existent roads intermixed with stunning green landscapes and natural beauty.
Arrived in greece about 6pm. Its 34 degrees.  A tiring day with lots of mental concentration required on albanian roads. We discovered Its free camping in greece so camped up next to the beach.

Albanian roads

Not great on a motorbike!

Day 6

Finished of montenegro via the stunning kotor. A long day of riding through the albania border (managed to buy a green card for 15 euro) only to be greeted by albanian beggers (young children).  Albanian roads suck. Pot holes, unfinished roads, crazy drivers. Pulled into an awsome hotel. We are the only guests.  30 euro per room.  Restaurants closed so the owner is coming over to make us some traditional albanian food. Greece tomorrow.
