Probably not much use but Norman Wisdom is very big there, some of his movies on DVD may help ease things along at borders etc. Or tell them you are good friend of Mr Pitkin. :wink: :stuck_out_tongue: :smiley:

roads nonexistent, people very friendly, borders quite relaxed, I guess the easiest way would be to take a ferry from Bari(about 10hours) or Ancona(22 or so hours) to Durres, costs about 350 euros from Bari. there is a need for a visa though, it costs a whopping €1 at the border.
the police doesn’t care too much for foreign trucks, due to their comprehension of no language other that their own, speeding is quite difficult anyway

If it helps, I read an article by Jeremy Clarkson a few weeks ago where he wrote…

In Albania there is no sense of right and wrong, only rich and poor

I haven’t been there myself but have visited its neighbours and that seems to be the general ethic in that part of Europe.

MISSING LINK in my last post
;TRY IT OUT;

Remember to talk about Enver Hoxha the much beloved president :stuck_out_tongue:

He was the bloke who banned people from wearing a beard like him. It was also frowned upon if you called your kids anything religous or carried a Bible or the Quoran

One of our earlier convoys (before my time) went to Kosovo via Albania. They tell me that the roads were terrible (in the worst case - 10 hours to cover 100 km), and they’ve vowed never to go that route again.

Have fun :wink:

Forget the beard, was this not the place the president renamed the days of the week after his children.

Now that’s someone with too much time on their hands…
