Hi all,
Yesterday we are back, all safe.
Quick comment on Albania roads: No problem at all, some parts are with heavy traffic but as stated before nothin worse than here in Turkey 
Highways are new and good quality. We stayed in Sarande, and I definetely recommend everyone to see the pass between Vlore and Sarande, Mount Çika. This is a must see place and beautiful riding experience.
Thanks again...
Hakan

Hi
About five years ago entered Albania from Greece. I asked immigration about insurance. He looked at me with sympathy and said.
" Sir you may be able to get insurance in the town about 20km north - but you would be the only vehicle in Albania that had it." So I did not bother
Nice country , people and beaches. Crazy drivers -the most popular film star was Norman Wisdom and there are more than 50000 machine gun bunkers. The paranoia of the cold war had only just receded about 10 years behind the rest of the world!!!

Driving hazards not that bad
Guys, its not that bad, seriously  of course i agree, that driving culture somehow differs from western standards, and i was truly confused at first, but iv got accustomed very quickly. As you will see, everyone is using horns to signal more dynamic maneuvers, and you should to. in the mountains, each time i was closing to an apex i was tooting like a madman  it was even quite fun experience  i sort of got a new habit. When i came back home, i realize that people react very nervously when you tooting just to signal that you passing by  )
besides that, keeping a healthy dose of carefulness you should do just fine.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
