In this episode of We Are Adventure Riders, we arrive in ALBANIA!
After the first nights camp on the shore of Lake Shkodër and an interesting encounter with a local shepherd (8am moonshine anyone..?!), we rode up into the Albanian Alps to the town of Theth for some hiking. We hiked towards Valbone, but stopped at the half way point where there is the most incredible viewpoint at the very top of a peak, giving 360 views of the stunning mountains of Northern Albania!.
Upon leaving Theth, we took a different "road" back down to Shkoder which was off road all the way and we later learned was actually part of the Trans Euro Trail (TET)! Riding the TET 2up with a fully loaded 1200GSA was very challenging, but we really worked as a team and had the best day ever - made some new riding friends, Marc and Lisa from Germany, who we rode with all day and found out they are also heading to Central Asia around the same time as us! Expect to see more of them in future videos!
Join us next time as the adventure continues in Albania, but takes a turn for the worse as Lucie ends up in an ambulance...!!
