We are on our way to Vlore, Albania, with the intent of getting Salsa groomed before we take her to a Veterinarian for her checkup to head back to Italy. After creating our first Park4Night, we continued on the highway south. We had found a place to stop that had electric and water, but that…

With a vow to ourselves to stay on solid ground from now on, we headed out of Gjirokaster north to make our way around, and then to Berat. To stay on nice highways, we kind of had to go up north past Berat, make our way east, and then back south. We decided to slow…

Several sounds woke us up while we were perched at the edge of Lake Mursi. A Shepherd moving sheep and goat passed us, a small funeral at the church down the road, and a worker dumping rocks along a fence. So, with that encouragement, we got ourselves out of bed. After Breakfast, we decided a…

While we enjoyed our stay in the National Park, it was time to slow move on. We are really working the slow camping thing, since we have time left in our Schengin Shuffle, and Albania is not a big place. Our next spot would be a bit of a surprise, but that’s why we call…

Our second camping experience in Albania was just up the road about 30km. It didn’t take us long, and it also put a third of our way to the northern boarder of small country. After all our errands and traffic getting out of Tirane, we arrived as the sun dipped below the harbor. We were…

Since we arrived in Albania on Wednesday, the weather has not been welcoming, rain and a chill in the air. We were keeping in the camper and trying to catch up on things. Saturday, the weather finally broke, and while not completely sunny and warm, the sky was not dripping on us. We did some…

We woke up in Cisternino, and moved slowly to get Holly ready for some more kilometers to get back to Bari. On our way we had seen several of these structures that Kasey looked up and found they are called Trullis. Not going to try to describe them, she took plenty of pictures. Eventually, and…
