8 August 2014 – Tirana, Albania
A peak at our favorite cafe in Tirana — Mulliri Vjeter, and a walk in the youth park about 10 minutes from Skanderbeg square. Tirana might not be the prettiest capital in Europe, but it sure has nice vibe: people round these parts love to hang, eat fabulous food, and enjoy a pretty good cup of…

7 August 2014 – Lukove, Albania
Another day in Albania, another amazing beach. Lukove beach is close to Saranda – maybe 20 minutes by car. Pristine shoreline, beautiful weather, and crystal clear Adriatic sea. Can life get better?

6 August 2014 – Saranda, Albania
Albanian coastline continues to amaze us. These gorgeous views are from the Saranda castle restaurant – aka Kalaja e Lëkurësi. I am not sure I’ve seen anything like this ever before — simply stunning. Oh, and happy birthday Diton and Christina!

5 August 2014 – Borsh, Albania
The gorgeousness of Borsh beach in Albania is really, really hard to portray. You can watch all the videos you like, stare at your pictures — its not quite that. It is unreal. Highly recommend making this Ionian Sea destination a priority.

A very scenic view of an old Albanian town of Berat, situated on the river Osum. This video is shot from 13th century Berat castle, which was a fascinating place to visit.

3 August 2014 – Tirana, Albania
Our first day in Albania — the arrival was kind of tough as we just stepped off an 8 hour bus ride. First look at the capital, Tirana, through those lens 😉

2 August 2014 – Skopje, Macedonia
Whistle blow tour of the Balkans continues with a one day stop in Skopje, Republic of Macedonia. Downtown is quite fascinating, if controversial. Apparently the current government has recently embarked on a nation building campaign by populating the main town areas with statues of ‘national’ heroes – resulting in a bit of an amusement park…

A walk around downtown Belgrade – a pretty church, an awesome guide, and plenty of sunshine – what more could you ask for?! Day 2 of the Balkans tour wraps up our time in Serbia.

Our first day exploring the Balkans. We are in the capital of Serbia, Belgrade — check out the statue of the victor, the confluence of Danube and Sava Rivers, and an old Belgrade fortress. Pretty neat stuff.

30 July 2014 – Budapest, Hungary
Will you look at this duck?! Most delicious meal at Kispiac Bizstro in Budapest – we rarely do this, but we ate there twice. Ridiculously delicious. As is all the food we’ve tried in Hungary. If you have no other reasons to come to this beautiful city — do it for the food. Do it…
