Fortune telling in Turkish coffee, bazaar extravaganza, street food and Raki and a fated watermelon incident. Buwahaha, 10km later it was a perfect day and I barely even noticed it was 41 degrees….until I climbed the stairs in my apartment building caring my 25 lb watermelon. Still, it was worth it.
Albania…the other Riviera
Albania, Go Your Own Way is their motto! Often overlooked as crowds flock to other Balkan countries, but from Albania’s quirky capital with curiosities like museums in atomic bunkers, ornate mosques and pyramids to explore, massive squares, major outdoorsy stuff from mountains to beaches….Albania is a must go country. Stop skipping over it!!
