Tuesday
Riding back to Budva.
Back in the hotel I checked once again on Albania, read a couple more trip reports on how horrible it is supposed to be and so. I bought a couple extra waters just in case the rumors are true that you can't even drink the bottled water (since the refill them), and some tuna in a can. I also tried to get a map but you can't buy an Albania map in Montenegro. In fact where ever I asked for map, they told me that I would be stupid to ride into Albania, the driving would be crazy (and that coming from a Montengro person ;O) ), they would robb me, the police is corrupt and so on..
I trust the word of a German consul more than of some Montenegro dude (who needs to learn how to drive anyway) and had my plan laid out as good as it gets. I tried to get a room at the Sheraton (the only 'western' hotel in Tirane), but couldn't get one, which actually turned out to be a lucky thing.
I managed to get a room at the hotel "Diplomat". This was one of the very few times where I actually booked a room in advance, but I didn't wanted to be surprised in Tirana.
I had my water, tuna, hotel room, no maps and no working GPS...I was all set to go for tomorrow ;O).
