Durres Albania
From Contiki Tour in Durres, Albania on May 26 '07
Stayed in a resort!! Had the best accommodation. i bagged the tv room bed with the kitchen. Shared the apartment with Kate from NZ JJ from Korea and terry from Indonesia, Kate and I got the tv
Resort was on beach with pool and then beach in background; we had the only room out of everyone that had cable movies other ppl got porn channels, lol
there was nothing to do in the place we stayed it was away from town etc but wed passed through town during day
A lot of poverty but people dressed nicely
I watched movies all afternoon dodge ball this one with jen love hewit where she seduces men into doing things for her as she worked towards her dream house. Reminded me of terry, watched Bridget Jones 2. Had dinner at the restaurant. Everything and the impression of class but because of the poverty used cheap materials and the food was awful but I didn’t complain I was so happy to enjoy the luxury of tv and big room. We had this potato and leak soup and then this mixed grill of veal and chicken and then bruised fruits for desert. I felt bad because we left a lot of food and during the day had seen how the people live what we ate and the way we lived they would only dream about yet they needed to provide these things for us to boost tourism and economy.
I wrote a lot that day. Children that saw us were stoked all running out and waving. We are the first generation of tourists for their country.
