Days 46 to 51: Six More Days in Shkodër

I stayed at Chuck and Susan’s apartment for another six days, making a total of nine days. Chuck told me that I’m now tied for the longest stays at their place. I’m very grateful that they allowed to me stay this long. Previously, I thought about getting a hostel, but Chuck extended his invitation.

I did some chores around the apartment, including sweeping the patio, taking down two doors, and sharpening some knives. I also cleaned my bicycle and donated a few things from my panniers for future cyclists.

Shkodër reminds me of Asia with all the bicycles. Albania is still a developing country with the occasional water outages that happened in the past few days as they are still trying to complete the city’s infrastructure.

Overall, I had a great time in Shkodër. It was definitely a change of pace going from cycling to a more slow-down life. Tomorrow, I’ll resume cycling and ride 26 miles south to Lezhë.

Ate at Puri five times during my stay.

Donated emergency blankets, pepper spray, tire boot, zip ties, and LifeStraw to future cyclists that will pass through Chuck and Susan's place.
