Best Way To Get Phlegm Out Of A Baby

Albania - Kosovo - Macedonia 6th to 8 September

(Eva)

Good morning!
We have another 25 kilometers to the Albanian border and the formalities, we want as quickly as possible behind us. The first time exit and entry fee paid and already we are in a different world. Potholes interspersed with dirt roads and dust, to be desired and left directions as we believe we have lost our way because we are in the middle of a gravel pit, we ask for as a precaution. "Carry on the main road", the answer is - we were actually on the main road!

The people are friendly and when we were in the middle of nowhere cook a meal in no time are four curious kids. From top to bottom, smudged with dirt, so here they offer us grapes. Harry directed them produces four salami sandwiches to it ripped out of his hand. When cleaning heavy heart, yet sacrifices his chocolate ice cream is the last broken and we are bombarded with questions, we do not understand. With facial expressions and gestures we communicate with much laughter and leave us with a powerful wave.

Continues along the roads do not improve, a pothole, we avoid further into it in two down. For 200 km nerve-wracking and exhausting roller-coaster ride we need about seven hours! Finally reach we cross the border to our great surprise we want you for Albania's roads 17, - demands of € way fee (!). Harry is not willing to pay that price, wriggling like a jumping jack to show how we were shaken on the bumpy roads, his show amused even the tax collectors and policemen and so we are after all, with only 8, - of which €.

In Kosovo, we will be well received, a check is immortalized with the policeman (as we later find out) a nice request on our car. The country we can leave without problems - quick glance into the car - we go to India - and we're through.

Macedonia - Unfortunately, we are still pursuing the bad weather and after a night in Skopje, we do finally sunshine.

So on to Greece ....
