Lets just say that southern Albania is beautiful rugged mountains, with winding goat-tracks roads, no driving manners (licensees were given away as some mobile-phone promotion), top speed is 50km/h (at best), and where the roads are actually half-decent, there’s cops all over the place waiting to pull some unsuspecting foreigner over for more roadway sodomy …. So a 120km drive to the capital (Tirana) took over 3 hours.The capital itself is an absolute mess, with even worse roads, crazy traffic with no sense of rules … and lets not forget that I have seen places like Cambodia …. and Tirana is worse !!!! … so it didn’t take much for us to decide to get the hell out of Albania, and keep on going to Montenegro … and once again it was a case of “I know that there is a border here somewhere …. But f&*k knows how to get there” … and after ending up in a paddock full of goats and cows, it took us over an hour to find it.
Albania has just hit the top of my Countries to NEVER visit Again List!!
