The local tour agent gathered us all together in the amphitheatre to give a heartfelt speech about Albania and the work to restore the site. His dog, Bora, stole the show, however after going for a swim in a very muddy stretch of water nearby.

(Thank you to Neil, once again, for the pictures of Bora!)

Some of the people who helped to make our stay in Albania so special. Crystal, Elaine, Saskia, the Albanian agent (whose name escapes me, but whose dog Bora will always be remembered!) and not forgetting Neil, of course, who took this photo!
 
Our wondeful chef, Jorg, welcomes us back on board for lunch
 
Leaving Sarande - and Albania. Corfu on the right.
 
At around 1.00 am the next morning, we sailed under the The Rion-Antirion bridge in Greece.
Bruce was awake to take these photos!
 
 
Next stop - Itea, Greece
