After updating my Albania page it brought back many memories of the trip. The photograph of the two local men may not look like they are too challenged, but i can assure you their concentration is high. The cobbles on the road are well polished from years of people & vehicles passing over them, plus the heat of they day & the gradient of the slope makes this a very challenging ascent. The locals take it slow & steady, but its fun to watch visitors, including us, slip & slide. Not an advisable climb for smooth soled flip flops!
