Long ride today, following the Vjose valley close to the Greek border, then heading north. Some stunning views of the mountains (they don't come out on the photos, but there you go), with roads getting rougher as they climb. Was planning to stay at Leskovic, a village beneath a dramatic crag, but decided to push on to Erseke which means an easy ride tomorrow and time to check out Korca.

Missed most of the rain today, and it's nice and cool up here. Erseke is nice with a big open central square and mountain backdrop. It's a decent sized place by Albanian standards, but hardly more than a village.
