ALBANIA

Richard and Jude's travels continued...

After a wonderful week in Greece we headed for the Border with Albania, choosing to cross at a very small rural station hoping that it would be less busy but also we wanted to ride on one of Albania’s famous biking roads: the SH75.

The border crossing was as we hoped and there were no other vehicles, chatted with the Greek officials for a while and were introduced to their ginger cat. Yes it was that quiet. It was a similar experience on the Albanian side, minus the cat.

The SH75 is a tight winding road that climbs up through pine forest to the Albanian hinterlands with spectacular views. It was known for its poor condition but now most of it has recently been repaved and although narrow is an excellent ride despite the close encounter- see video.

We finished the day at a Homestay in the small town of Lin on the edge of lake Ohrid where we swam in its warm waters and sampled the local ale and fish.

Next: Montenegro
