We’re in Berat, Albania now. The drive from Kotor, Montenegro took eight hours, and included a two-hour detour for Chinese food in Tirana. We’ve dined at Oriental City twice previously and think it has the best Chinese food in all of the Balkans.
Almond Shrimp
Fish in Chili Oil – Kenric’s favorite
That’s why we went there to get takeout for the family that runs Hotel Orestiada as a thank-you for storing our stuff for the past 2.5 months. Ermal, the waiter, thought the food was good. I hope the others liked it too.
It’s really good to be back in Albania even if it’s only for four days. Too bad Grigor, the other waiter, left the job. He’s well-read and knows a lot about American movies. We really enjoyed chatting with him during our four-week stay in October.
Here are some of the photos taken in Albania during our drive.
Lucky shot of this young lady sweeping the street.
Mount Tomorri with just a little bit of snow on top was so beautiful but we didn’t have time to stop for photos.
These ladies are going to walk until the cows come home. I just love the countryside.
The mosque has such a cute surprised face!
