The beautiful view of Durres from my balcony and the ironed laundry made my day. My suitcase is now ready for the rest of the tour. Every one is looking forward to our tour in Tirana and then the free time that we will have in the afternoon. We met our guide at a lovely park. She
was an excellent historian. She helped us understand the difficulties that
this country had went through for ages. Enver Hodja isolated the country
after trying to be an ally with USSR and then with Mao of China. finally
he decided neither one will be good for them and chose to be 100 percent
isolated. |

Enver Hodja's daughter had built this tent like building as a monumental tomb for her father. but now no body knows where his body is buried. And the building is building used as a sports arena. The Ottoman presence is obvious here with mosques and schools from the 17th and 18th century.
