Had a great sleep with the air conditioner off and the windows open…was on the road by 9am and caught the local bus into town and today was the hike up here!!!
This ruin is about half way up
but first needed to take a couple of bananas with me..
Paid the 3 Euros to do the climb and the person that said in my guide book that there are 1250 steps…told no lie!!!!!
It was a tough hike on paths that zigged and zagged but the view..worth every Euro!!!!!
A lot easier coming down…..I stopped in the old city and booked a full day tour for tomorrow…could be hang gliding, para sailing…you will have to wait till tomorrow night to find out!!
Took the local bus back home and stopped for 20 minutes to pack up lunch and get on the bus going the other way about 8 miles to
This is one of the most prettiest towns I have seen in a while, very quiet and two small Islands in the bay!!!
As if I had not climbed enough stairs today…I climbed to the top of the bell tower!!!
I then took the small ferry over to the Island which is really a man made Island!!
The inside of this church was just simply beautiful…a bit mini scale Cistern Chapel material!!!
It was now time for R & R and here is the perfect place!!!
Was home by 5pm….but no the day does not end here..had supped got dressed up (sort of) and back on the bus to the old city for some much needed culture (who said that?).
The location was fantastic inside the old walls and the concert very enjoyable…..
A wonderful evening these guests were just out of this world and a packed outdoor house, a memory!!
I spent an hour on the Internet and I am struggling to find a way from here through Albania and into Greece…lots of things to consider…I have two bags..the border crossings are scarce….I do not have any Albanian money and they do not take Euros and do not know if there any bank machines at bus stations..I tried to hire a car but they wanted 500 dollars..then I found a bus tour company that do a day tour to Albania and when I asked just to go one way they said no way I have to come back….so I think on Monday morning I am heading to the bus station and go south I have found a border crossing from Montenegro into Albania and head for there…still a couple of days to figure out a better plan…
