It rained a little during the night.
The road in was quite neat lined with a type of fir. Very glad we did not get off track, as every where there is water. Tracks just leave the road and enter water. Not sure if fresh or salt
There are a LOT of
what John is calling Albanian Mushrooms; gun emplacements to protect
from invading forces? But we are not sure when and who built them.
But they are everywhere we look.
We
made it to the Apollonia ruins near by before mid day. Paid our
entrance fee of 400 leke each (A$6) . A huge area and only 6%
excavated. Some parts were rebuilt so we could imagine more easily
how it once was. This well in the porch of the above church was well used.
We had to wait a while for the key to arrive to open the museum but it was well worth the wait. All of the contents were from this site, an amazing array of goods. From Venetian glass perfume bottles to oil burners, and clay jugs with paintings intact.
South again on the A2 highway for 30km to make some distance. The SH8 was windy and up and down. But very little traffic. The rain was holding off and affording us vista’s of the Bay of Vlore.
