Days 35 & 36 - 17th & 18th April 2008

All is good. Had 2 very wet days.

17th April - 27 miles to Budva. Arrived soaked and wet. Incessant monsoon type rain. Tyre replaced and ended up sleeping with Filip, our friendly bike mechanic. His little converted shed heated by wood stove worked well.

18th April - 56 miles to Shkoder. Now in Albania. Crossed border at 6pm. Amazing change. Men and boys wave and shout in welcome, women tending stock and sweeping streets at night. Numerous little military disused bunkers by road side. A country in transition. I think it will be fascinating to ride through.

Getting on very well with Simon.
