Painting Havana!
Havana, after decades of poor maintenance is a grey city. Needs a bit of painting!
Este hotel…
tiene pulgas. ..
When travelling South America some decades ago my budget allowed me to stay only in cheap hotels.
Once I made a visit to Cajamarca in the Andes in northern Peru. Arrived late at night.
As usual I checked in at one of the less luxurious places and fell asleep almost immediately.
Next morning the andean light fell in trough that window, and I saw the graffiti !!
Este hotel tiene pulgas: This hotel has got fleas…
Color Cubano!
Black and white is all fine but sometimes color is the motive…
4×Corfu
Spent an afternoon and a night in Corfu before flying home!
Blue eye!
Catch the beautiful mountain road from Saranda at the Albanian coast towards Gjirokaster some 25km. Blue eye, “Syri i Kalter” consists of totally 18 crystal clear springs pouring right out from the ground. The dragonfly that´s posing for me has put on a suitable blue dress for the occasion.

Falemenderi shumë Albania!
After two weeks in Albania the dim prejudice I had about the country has changed dramatically in a positive way!
If you are the demanding, inflexible type that needs perfect service and everything up to date.. go somewhere else.
But if you like smiles and welcomes that comes from the heart this is the place to go.
peaceful, secure, relaxed, fantastic landscapes, good food, a thriving national culture and such a lovely people!
(I know there are complications…. drugs, corruption etcetera. I am just giving my 14 days first impression here!)
Thank you very much Albania… Valentina, Nick, Silvana and other friends
Give me a brake at Llogara!
It was a breathtaking moment when the small bus started to descend the steep Llogara mountain between Vlora and Saranda in the south Albanian coast. The serpentine road is one of the most dramatic I´ve sen, and I have crossed the Andes several times!
It became even more thrilling when my seat neighbor told me graphically with lots of details about a fatal accident a month ago not far from here. 13 passengers died!
A few minutes later when the typical smell of overheated brakes became evident in the “furgon” all passengers, muslims, catholics, orthodoxies and atheists looked at that rosary in the front window and made a silent prayer..
The driver, concentrated and increasingly pale managed somehow finally to stop the bus for a thirty minute cool down pause!
Berat, Albania!
