Cycling Albania & visiting Tirana together with @Roodada | Cycling to Asia | Video diary Episode 10

Documentation and impressions of the bike tour around the world from Germany to Asia. This episode is about bikepacking cycling in Albania. I started together with @Roodada in Ulcinj, Montenegro and we rode the Euro Velo 8 cycling route. We crossed the border into Albania, visited Shkodra and old towns and places. We ended up renting an apartment in Tirana and stayed there for two nights. We visited the beautiful places, toured the city and ate tradionel food. It was a great part of my trip. Thanks to @Roodada for the drone clips!
