Albania is so beautiful, so breathtakingly beautiful, yet so hard to travel in! At least in our Subaru Outback… A month or so ago instead of the usual “highway” (it takes just under 4 hrs to cover 180 km) we took another road to Tirana – via Gramsh and Elbasan. Approximately the same 180 km took 6 hrs. Did we know that a road, marked as a major one on the map, isn’t paved? No! We gave a ride to a local town elder (he was on his one and a half hour long walk to the meeting) and found out that majority of the people from that area had moved to the bigger cities. Pretty likely this major road will remain unpaved.
As we drove, I kept on wondering whether the river down in the canyon is suitable for rafting, even if you’re super experienced. And whether we should have ridden our mountain bikes instead. Wait, we don’t have any mountain bikes! So I guess we won’t take that road again anytime soon. Shame, it was so gorgeous! (Did I mention the rocks falling down on the road?)
Come explore the untouched beauty of the land of eagles!
