tirana,albania capital

impossible visit albania without tirana...
travellers will find themselves near skandenberg,the centre of the capital city and of aministrative life.
until 1991 a huge gold-leafcovered statue of enver hoxha stood here,something that many people who saw it felt belonged in spirit to the world of the later roman emperors.....

Pros and Cons
  • Pros:easy to come into contact with inhabitants
  • Cons:the worst european roads;ignorance of ecology
  • In a nutshell:on the way to europe,but it's a long way...

    Certainly seems like a country of many contrasts. Very interesting.

    Sounds like a great road trip you had to get to Albania, interesting page especially about the old days & the awful battle with 60,000 corpses! (~_~)
