Did we visit Durrës?
We visited Albania in 2010 and I start to wonder if we ever visted Durrës then. I don't recognise anything so it is possible that we didn't. It looks like a nice place to if we didn't go there we made a mistake. /Ake

Brestovac Sanatorium

Looks like my kind of place
I have a bit of a soft spot for abandoned places. I think I would have liked to visit Brestovac Sanatorium. Looks like my kind of place. /Ake

Plitvice Lakes National Park

Plitvice Lakes
Plitvice Lakes has long been on my list of places I want to visit. We are thinking about going to the Balkans ourselves this summer. Possibly we'll then make a visit there ourselves. Thanks for giving me an idea of what to expect. /Ake

Albania!
Dave here.....this is one of MJ's "next up" countries. The reading I've done (nothing compared to her) indicates a beautiful nation emerging from decades of struggle. Enjoy!

Albania!
Hi Dave. I think that's a great way to describe it. I hope you guys are able to visit, I found it fascinating with much to take in.

Durres
I enjoyed Durres. It was an off-the-beaten track city in an already off-the-beaten track part of the world!

Finally Albania!
You know Albania has been on my short list for years so I read this with enthusiasm. I'm glad to hear there are some whackos being escorted off airplanes that are not Americans! Yes, you would have had to de-plane in the U.S. This country is rich in history and tragedy.... I can't wait to explore it. I will read or reread John & Miranda's blogs.

Albania
Thanks Merry! I loved Albania, it felt like exploring new territory for the traveller. I think you would both very much enjoy your time there, I have a feeling you will enjoy it as much as I did. I hope you get to go there in the not-too-distant future.

Yes, and indeed, very much tourist-free.

Awed by the amazing variety and beauty
I was surprised to read this town is not full of tourist. Fantastic. We love trams and funiculars. What a wonderful last day for your trip. An interesting tale of disease, ghostly and lost souls. This sounds like a wonderful part of the world. I've decided we will only travel to places you've been and will follow in your footsteps as it will make easier trip planning. LOL. You know you are a world traveler when you run into a friend in another country. Fantastic! MJ

Zagreb
Thank you Merry! I loved Zagreb. It felt real after spending time in the touristy areas of Croatia. The sanatorium certainly provided a tale to tell, though very unnerving at the time to be there. I would be honoured if you travelled in my travelling footsteps, lol! The icing on the cake on my amazing trip to Croatia was certainly bumping into an old friend on the journey home.
