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!
Airport flower!
Don´t know where she came from or where she was going but I sure liked her travelling dress! Abu Dhabi airport between planes last February
Towards Victoria!

The Hindu temple in Victoria/Seychelles
The Seychelles is indeed a cultural melting pot. It´s an African country with strong influences from Great Britain, France, India, China and other places.
Playa del Este, Cuba!
Exercising the dogs at Playa del Este. East of Havana.
One day at the beach!

What´s for dinner today?
This was a peculiar dog that absolutely refused to enter the kitchen in this farmhouse in Viñales/Cuba. The other dog of the house was on the other hand constantly running in and out of the same room.
So he had his window where he looked in every now and then with that kind of hungry look on his face! In the background you see tobacco plants, very common in this region of Cuba.
