First of all, I want to thank Ad (ATAK) for the tremendous amount of time he had put in preparing this trip, although it ended for him a little bit premature in Croatia.

This trip started in Villach in Austria, crossed Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Montenegro and Albania, to end up in the north of Greece. First part was done with the famous Autozug, from Dusseldorf to Villach and the last part was by ferry from Igoumenitsa to Venice and a 14h highway ride back home.

It was an extraordinary experience for each one of us, with many climaxes, one serious setback and shall not be forgotten soon. 1 thing is for sure: we will go back, back to Albania that is, but trying to get there as fast as possible to spend as much time as possible in this oh so beautiful country.

Albania is too beautiful, too friendly, too backcountry not to spend extra time there. This time we were forced to let special moments pass in a pace way to fast, causing the trip to become somewhat superficial. Next time we will make it right!
