The scenery here is spectacular – mountains, deep fertile valleys, and views of the sea and the island of Corfu. The local people are welcoming – a folk performance at the pier when Silver Moon arrived and a gift of a shopping bag (Welcome to Albania) for everybody. The tour buses were delayed for a while because the port entrance gate was locked but the police eventually sorted that one out.
The drive to the castle viewpoint was a bit scary for Diva –
steep roads, hairpin bends and only a narrow strip of tarmac. Fortunately the
road was dry. The winery visit consisted of a buffet table with snacks and
local wine, with no tasting guidance. The winery itself was so small that there
was nothing to tour. The tour finished with a walk along the attractive new
promenade area.
TSH and Diva ate at the SALT restaurant, which specialises
in local food. Their lamb yiovetsi was so good that they are looking for the
recipe.
The Fedex tracking
system says that TSH’s bag is now in Athens, where it should have been 2 weeks ago.
Nobody on board ‘has any information’ about why it is not on the Silversea
truck, which may or may not have left Germany for Venice.
