We spent the weekend high in the mountains of Llogorra, not too far from the Adriatic Sea in the south of Albania. It was spectacular!
We spent it with a few other guests...
Snow White and her Seven Dwarves...
The Pied Piper... I tried explaining this story to some Albanians and for the life of me I couldn't remember the moral of the story! Can you?
And Bambi... isn't he beautiful?

I think the moral of the Pied Piper is that you should pay your bills or your tradesmen will take your kids away!
I agree with Ms Mac, that is what I thought it was too, kind of a strange story that one...maybe there is something deeper, but I haven't thought of it yet.
Oh, good for you. I love Llogara. I always go to there but have never spotted a wild goat or a bambi. You were so lucky!
I have heard wolves at night, and seen them by a stream in a village south of Llogara though. Not so lucky again.
Another thing I absolutely love about Llogara is the traditional thick, natural, nutritious, organic, sheep yoghurt. It's so thick there are slices of buttery cream in it. mmmmm
Did you have a chance to try it? I order it whenever I go there and eat it with warm bread. 50 lek/1 large bowl in any of the restaurants up there. A good deal for a traditional snack.
Then I love the cold uncontaminated source water from the mountains. There are a few "cezme"s along the national road.
Tirana's level of pollution is 50 times above the European norm, so holidays in Llogara where the mountain air is fresh are healthy.
I escape from Tirana whenever I can.
Isn't that where they get the expression "pay the piper?"
