More heat, more Borders, more great roads

Leaving our fish farm digs and back onto main roads, we had some spectacular roads , good fun but you have to be careful, another border crossing into Albania and we found our roadside hotel easily. Staff were very nice and we spent the night hiding from the heat in the air conditioned bar, tough life !

Nice road

almost at our rest stop for the day.

Saturday we were lucky enough to find the amazing sh20 road, until recently it was unpaved but now its superb, plenty photo opportunities and eventually a border crossing again into Montenegro,  it was qued but the locals told us to skip the queue which we did and then just got waved through which was different from other crossings, eventually we rode into Ulcinj which is on the coast, we had seen temperatures up to 38 degs and we were wabbit when we rolled into our digs, a B&b type place with a restaurant and apartments,  the guy who met us told us to take a seat and gave us a beer on the house, it went down well!

our hotel view, not bad

Back into Montenegro for a couple of days then back to Albania and Lake Shkodar for our final night, very very hot. Today we headed  back to Durres to catch our ferry back to Italy so I leave it there with some photos
