Vlore

meet the local mafia and enjoy and ice cream. one night me my brother and dad where hungry so we went out looking for food, we found some locals and two young guys said for us to go with them they took us down a dark alley my dad wispered prepare to run but luckily there was a way through and we where not at danger. even though they where very macho looking they wherent really they where very kind they took us to their mum ad dad house where all the wood interior had been handcarved by them little squirrels and nuts and they wear players for the albanian football team, they brausght us lots of things on a plate and one thing where these pickles and then when we left our stomach made like an industrial sound or like a spaner was twisting something and we had terrible problems for a week. but god bless them anyway

Albania is a very poor country. So it could be dangerous especially during the night. Make sure that you dont have to much money with you. Locals seem to be very nice and helpful. I was suprised that most of them speak English fluently. Vlore is a very beautiful city located between the hill and the sea. One of the most beautiful in AL (my opiniion). From Vlore you can go to the north using two ways. One thru the central parts of the country (faster, road is in better condition). And the second one going on the coast. Its a very beautiful road, with great sightseeing. The transportation in Albania doesnt work to good. Using the public transport you have to start very early (5am) because after 4 pm there is no buses. There are no bus stations. You always buy tickets by the driver. Buses are in a very poor condition, but they're cheap.hope my info is usefulif have any questions please ask
