Saranda
Albania
A wonderful beachside adventure, though accompanied by a fair share of digestive trouble 💁.
There were clubs, bars, and plenty of swimming—both in the sea and, unfortunately, in my own clothes when the air conditioning wasn’t blasting at full power. A friend even came straight from Kosovo to meet me!
I had an amazing time. The city feels less like an off-the-grid, traditional beach town and more like a bustling tourist resort, but the classic holiday vibe was a nice change of pace.
As I write this, I’m still recovering from the five days of discomfort that followed, and my stomach has yet to fully stabilise. Hopefully, this will be the only such incident on the trip.
