Departing Tirana for Shkoder, Albania

The colorfulness of the buildings is often dazzling

Another small town, on the way north, that has a castle above it.

I arrived at my destination. Shkoder and it's large fortress above, were just a waypoint for me to continue to Montenegro, which I did that evening by taxi, since there are only two buses per day running, at least off-season, and both of them had long left town.
