56km Total 2,689km
Today was another brilliant day of riding. Only 56km, but over 1000m of climbing and so many stops for photos.
Here are just a few.

| Looking towards Shkoder |
After the success with our farmstay the last couple of days, I decided to try another one. They're lovely people and have been assisted by USA and Sweden to set up agritourism in Albania. Their farm has huge covered areas for growing tomatoes, melons, okra, peppers, eggplants, etc - all organic. Also oranges, mandarins, lemons, olives, pomegranites etc.
They finally served us some dinner at 9pm, then proceeded to sit there and watch us eat! The food was great and they are so keen to please us, but it was a bit weird having to eat in front of them.
