Albania summer 2023

---

Exciting to be on the road again and traveling in a new country in Europe.
Arrived around 1am this morning from Naples where we had a few days visiting Pompei (bucket list, check!)
Today was planned as rest day as our next section to the north starts at 5am.
Staying in the lovely E'bel hotel, very close to our pick up point in the morning and an easy, if long, walk into the centre.
Wandered around to get our vearings. Getting used to the busy crossings, somehow people, bicycles, e scooters and cars weave around each other. If you are unfortunate enough to have a UnionPay ATM card we found no ATM that would accept it! Packed that card away for our stay here.
As we will be returning here for a few days we didn't do much that was touristy except visit the Pyramid. It was disappointing as it has been 'rennovated', and looks nothing like the Google images out there see the image included here, very shiny and new now.
Lots of pleasant looking cafes around the town.
