Give me your wallet,your clothes and your shoes...

Hello again,

Today there are better news, Nanna got out from hospital. She has now got a bunch of medicines and instructions, so she should be able to fly home tomorrow.

I rented a scooter to get to the hospital. Quite ok, but the 100cc is not enough, or then the power has been reduced.

In the afternoon i went snorkling a bit. Note, it is not a stranded whale in the picture!

Ciao,

Todays program canceled...

Hjello,

Yesterday we took the boat to Corfu (aka Kerkyra). And managed to find our pickup to Sunrock hostel after some hazzle. The hostel is located at a steep hillside, opposite Kerkyra. The beach is 50m down and the view from the terass is good. I did some scooba diving at the beach, believe me or not, tried have a look at some fish. Which i did. The dinner was served after sunset, so we bought some bananas and snack from the kiosk.

It was at this point Nanna started to feel weird. Finaly she was completely dehydrated this morning. We decided not to waste any time for rehab attempts and go straight to clinic (lessons learnt since Gobi incident).

So now we are sitting here in hospital and waiting for results and drip.

It is difficult to say where she got it from, food or from the guys in the Albanian hostel? According to hostel a few other travellers who arrived from Albania had also been taken to hospital.

And am I the next victim? I did eat her leftovers at dinner last night...

This was not the action I was looking for.

Cheers,

Unesco Butrint and souflaki

Hjello,

It is time for an update again!

After yesterdays splendid tentacolous dinner and a HOT night we went to see the unesco heritage site Butrint. Btw, one of the french guys stod up from bed shouting "get the tent!" (in french). I replied with a fart during the night.

Butrint was ok. The bus ride took an hour, and we had approx. 1 1/2h on site. It had the best english explanation boards in whole Albania.

Now after 2 meat "souflakis" an a pint we'll do some shopping. I need scooba diving gear, other vice i won't manage 2 days in Korfu!

Trash, trash and trash!

Tere,

There is trash all over the area, even on the beach! These albans will drown in trash if they don't start taking care of the environment!

1 and a half day is enough on this beach. Tomorrow we head out for Sarande.

Adios,
