Monday 2nd April.
Today we cycled along the stunning south Albanian coast. Passed through the resort of Sarandë and continued on to the sandy beaches of Ksamil. We are now staying on a small campsite in Ksamil. The owner of the campsite is a school teacher that has lived in Manchester. He speaks very good English and is really informative. Has already told us about what it was like to live in Albania during the communist years. More about that to follow in tomorrow’s video.
Tomorrow we will spend the day here and enjoy a short Easter break plus catch up with practical jobs.
