Welcome to Albania
During the typical morning climb, Rik appeared to be back to his old self. Due to roadworks, there was no car traffic and we had the road ahead of us. Suddenly, we found ourselves in front of an old-style border post. With a long line of cars (which we ignored without a second) and surly border officials. Still, it remains striking how smoothly you can enter Albania now, which used to be completely cut off from the world.
