Dear Reader,
We left the Motel after a wonderful sunrise, and pottered North to join the road to Kozani and then west up to the border crossing at Kastoria, stopping for a coffee and a bun on the way.
The border crossing was easier than expected. I met with an Africa Twin Rider from Spain (Lewis) and we agreed to ride together through Albania and in Montenegro.. There are other riders out there that ride too many hours too...,
I had to stop a get Green Card insurance from a flower shop !! Honest... and then rode on and on.... Fabulous ride through the mountains and by some very big lakes..
We rode together through the chaos that was Tirane ( one particular roundabout was just shear madness....) on and on to the border into Montenegro and said our goodbyes.
I rode on until Podgorica and could see storm clouds to the North with some lightning. Quickly found a Motel to hide in as it was now 6pm and I started at 7:30am...
I am now sitting and eating a pizza and tasting the local brew - Niksicko Two.
The storm looks like it is passing to the east ... tomorrow is a very short run into Croatia and a campsite on the heights at Camp Solitudo....
Nite nite
