Travel day

Another early start, packed the night before so just needed showers and breakfast.  Breakfast was incredibly sad..there was a packet of what looked like half chewed ham, a spoonful of cereal and a bottle of pepsi!!! And the showers..well there are three, one didn't work, one is only boiling water and the last the hose was broken so water went everywhere apart from out of the shower head.  So I did a bit of hose swapping so at least the was one functioning shower.  Also took the opportunity to borrow some washing powder. 

It's a really shame this hostel has got so much potential but there is just no love there!! In the rush of just wanting to leave I blooming well left my purse behind( the one with my Spanish id and bank cards) so it was the to be nice to the hostel guy after I had sent him a picture of the very sad breakfast. 

Any way we left in a hurry to catch the 9am bus to Tirana.  We needed to get money out because we had given our last pennies to the girls in bed the day before.  We made it first in time.  The trip to Tirana was uneventful apart from a lady stepping in my toe.. not eventful I hear ...no but it happened to be the tie I had just lost a nail from so blooming well hurt and i shreaked ...poor lady. 

Anyhow we arrived in Tirana and we managed to get an early bus to Sarande, this was the moment I realised I had left my purse behind but there was nothing I could do because unless I'm somewhere with WiFi I have nothing!!!

We boarded the bus and I wasn't great company but I did warn Kerry before hand, I just sat and read my book.  The second part of the journey after the obligatory stop was incredible.  The scenery was amazing. 

Arriving at our destination after 5hrs ,we had pretty much travelled the length of the country.  Here we have booked ourselves an apartment for the week, using it as a base to do day trips and days to enjoy down at the beach. 

Just to be at a place with water is a great feeling, back to my happy place.  We checked into the apartment which is run by a lovely Albanian family, a stone throw from the beach, but more importantly after staying in hostels I could finally fully unpack my bag!!

 So eventually we were given seats and s departure time.  Our seats were the last row but I guess we can't complain or can we yes we can.. Why were we the unlucky ones to be on standby, why were we still given the last seats when actually there were spare seats further up the plane.  They actually moved people forward!!! I moved forward to a better seat and slept the whole flight so made no difference in the end anyhow..at least we're on the way home.  We arrived a round 2.30...definitely no trains, thought about getting the bus into placa Catalunya but we would have to wait for the next bus so we decided just to sleep at the airport and wait for the train.  All good.  We got the train and were treated to an amazing sunrise... What a great welcome home after an incredible trip!!  Now the fun starts with trying to claim back flight disruption, cancellation and overbookings ..oh the joy But it definitely does not take anything away from the fun I've had,...

21hrs, 660km, recovery

 So the man from the hostel who said he would send my purse tomorrow, kept saying he would send my purse tomorrow until it finally got to Monday and he says he can't send it ...%®'™¥¢€!!! What to do ?? I went and spoke to the family, who were very helpful, trying to organise a guy they knew who goes to the city to contact a guy he knew who collect the purse from shkoder all without me actually having to do anything.. brilliant..no failed the man they knew wasn't going ..ah booo  So the decision was made to take the night bus from Sarande to Tirana wait in the 'bus station' until the first bus to shkoder.  I checked all times I would arrive at 0230 and there was a bus at 5 ..not too bad considering the bus station doesn't really exist , it's a car park with a bench or 2. Ticket bought,  message sent to make sure I could actually access my purse and retrieve it and could this be confirmed before 21.30 as I wouldn't have WiFi.  Caught the bus at 22h luckily...

A fish out of water

 So as most people will know I spend most of my time in or near water but this summer I have decided to embark on an adventure to a land locked country!  The idea of traveling to Uzbekistan was first put into my head by one of my students.  She was following some Instagram accounts about the country that looked absolutely incredible.  I started to follow these same pages and kept looking and kept liking.  I ummed and arred for ages and then unfortunately we lost one of the members of our swimming family, she was young like me and had everything to live for.  The day of her funeral I went and paid my respects and that very next day booked the trip. I found flights from London which happened to tie in with my trip back 'home'.  After 10days in the UK, 2 weddings , 3 camping trips and some new ink I was ready for my adventure.  I did some last minute shopping then was ready to board the 4am national express to Luton.  Very early for a 13h flight...
