Great write-up, particularly your reflections on the 'so what'. I cycled through Albania in 2018 and didn't really see the glossy bits, but was very pleasantly surprised. Most of the Balkans is rather scruffy, but I've found Albanians the most courteous and welcoming people. I found a lot to like and admire there, and seeing the Gracen Pass again was a delight. Anyway, disaster averted for most, now for the main show!

Brilliant write up Lionel. Compliments the Pods and KM0s.
