We returned to Tirana, Albania for a final look around as we pass through this capital city to return to Sopotnica in Macedonia. Again, a very hot day but we braved it to explore the city a little further. The Albanians are friendly people which seems to be the norm within the Balkens. Both Albania and Macedonia were under a communist regime and there are many buildings that are testament to this.
Passing the Albanian border required another bribe. If you don't bribe, the border police will keep you waiting for three to four hours so a few dollars goes a long way. A few hundred metres through "no man's land" and the Macedonian border police are more honest - no bribe required.
As we have no car at the moment, it will be a relaxing day tomorrow.
