Time to go

Friday night i went out with the british couple to the same restaurant. Had roast chicken again for dinner. Spent the evening discussing the election and jonathan creek. It seems everybody has the same favourite episode the one with the guy bricked up in the cellar.

Had a lie in and then went for a coffee with francesca and filippo as they were leaving. Next up the albanian history museum which was long and only bits were in english. It was the same as all national history museums where the country was communist, no other choice had to beet the facists etc. Fairly interesting about skanderberg who turns out to be alexander the great. I think most of the yugoslav problems date back to this time. Should have come here before i wrote my dissertation. Afternoon i spent loading photos onto photobucket which took 1 1/2 hours to do 60 so stopped there. Decided to stay about for the football tomorrow Dinamo Tirana vs. Shkodra. Went out to watch Villa match which was gutting, then dinner again roast chicken. I keep ordering different things but everything is out of stock. Watched el classico then went to bed.

Looking forward to going to Berat tomorrow another mountain village which should be a bit quieter. Tirana is nice but there is nothing left to do, its a bit like walking in milan fashion show. Everybody wears prada, versaci, ray ban its crazy probably the most stylish place i have ever been. No chavs just fashionistas. Crossing the road is getting a bit stressful as well, it is similar to vietnam but with cars. Just walk out and they drive around you!! To get anywhere from the hostel i have to cross the main avenue which is four lanes wide.
