So, we left Montenegro and crossed into Durres, Albania. It is a horrible port city and the beach was awful. Such a shock!
Stayed the night and left at 5 am to head to Borsh, way south. We are here now and I am indeed in heaven!!! Beautiful beach and our hotel is literally steps away from the water, which is a perfectly cool temperature without being cold and the weather is really hot and humid.
Can you ask for more perfection? I think not!
The whole way from Durres south is really nice and green - so many farms. Produce sold by the side of the road and honey too.
We drove through a national park that was stupednous. In many ways: I died a million deaths because the road is so darn narrow and locals drive it like maniacs, passing unsafely. There are also buses and trucks and when they meet you, it is a recipe for disaster!
The drive was amazing and here is a view of the hotel / restaurant (rooms for 50 euros there) way up in the distance.
The drive, BTW, is not for the faint-hearted. One part has 26 switchbacks and is on postcards because it is so steep and was a feat when they made it.
I did go around KOTOR in Montenegro and it was so interesting.
