I was a bit slow out of bed. We had a walk down on the
pebbly beach then decided it was time to drive on. We headed back
inland and up into the snow again, heading for lake Skadar. A well
used yellow road. Joining the orange road we then traversed the bridge
and causeway but apart from a few fisherman trying to sell their
catch, there was little to see. We retraced our steps across the bridge
and turned south onto another yellow road that runs the length of Lake
Skadar to Albania.
The
narrow road was more so with the uncleared snow. Beautiful scenes to
be had looking down onto the lake and across to the mountains in
Albania. The road was not only very narrow, windy, slippery in
places, but also very rough which limited our speed to around 25km/h. Luckily
we only came across a few cars but they all needed one or the other
to back up. We took way to many photos…..
After we came through Kostanjica the road became a little wider, faster and more traffic. We had planed/hoped we could find a flat spot at the end of the ridge just above the Albanian border but there was no place to get off the road.
A
little further we spied a derelict sports ground, that would afford
us a camp a a little ways off the main road but still close to a
village road.
Well,
once settled I did the washing, my heart wasn’t into it but it got
done. Well we did not expect the traffic it was our busiest camp by
far. Had no idea there were so many cars in this little village. They
stopped passing about 1.30 am…
They
invariably slow to pass each other and the thought that goes through
the mind is that they are the police come to move us on.
