Albania – what a flag!

How can you forget Albania’s national flag!

Albania
Unforgettable design

A weekend in Tirana, where the prices are about a third of London’s for food, accommodation and even less for a haircut. The big western brands have not taken over the city centre yet as it is less than twenty years since communism ended. An enjoyable stroll around the square. Traditional food: peppers stuffed with rice. A contrast is as good as a rest.

I am spoilt with an office view from a shiny glass building in London but a change of scenery is still needed. Why not the old city of Valletta in Malta? A long weekend is not enough time to explore the whole country.

Nice Office View of London

I bought some carob syrup just because it is something new! The climate so far south is comfortably pleasant – I believe OK until the end of November. You pay a premium to stay so close to the centre but for a short period it is worth being near the action.

What is life like when you live on a yacht like this!
