Day 39
Rest day in Tirana

It turns out that Tirana has a lot of people on bicycles as well as bike workshops, lanes and artwork. We visited the Bunk'Art 2 museum which is in an old nuclear bunker from the Cold War and tells the Communist history of Albania. We are vegetarian food at the aptly named Veggie restaurant and we drank beer in the sunshine.

There was a thunderstorm earlier in the day when we had to hide at Sophie's Caffe for half an hour. We planned our ongoing route which will be to now head East towards the border with Greece. Also, we managed to persuade a dry cleaners to take our laundry as the hostel we tried only had a washing machine and there are no laundromats here in Tirana.
