Day 205: Shëngjin to Bar

We left Albania today - and I’m almost sad to have left it. It was a real surprise and we’ve met nice people, eaten nice food and seen some extraordinary mountains and bays.

Morning coffee was by a large river In Shkoder

The border was a new experience. We were able to overtake the queue of cars and we gave our passports to the guy in the booth. Then we’re shuffled on to the booth next door and our passports were passed through to a woman who stamped them and handed them back to us. It turned out the first booth was Albanian immigration, and the second booth Montenegro. Very sensible one-stop-shop.

Now we’re in Montenegro, our 13th country. So far it seems hilly and the people are a bit grumpy, but we maybe caught them on an off day.
