Both yesterday and today we have travelled around the Bay of Kotor in Montenegro. The Bay of Kotor is a bay with several bays in the northern part of the west coast. There are car roads around the entire bay, usually right next to the water, and it is fantastically beautiful to drive here. The mountains are dizzyingly high, the countryside is lushly green and the houses are small and picturesque. The landscape is a bit like Norway actually, but with a warmer climate.

Today we have continued the journey north along the coast of Montenegro. It has actually rained intensively and been a little cooler today, that is, around 23 degrees. After several hot summer months, it's almost nice! We have made slow progress and have been fascinated by the high mountains, which are everywhere surrounded by dense fog.

Now we are just about ready to leave northern Albania with Shkoder and Lake Shkoder and head north into Montenegro. In total we have spent about three weeks in Albania, mainly in the southern part. Before we leave this beautiful country, we want to show you some pictures from the northern part. These pictures are all taken at the Shkoder lake, where we are camping at Lake Shkodra Resort.

Camping at Lake Ohrid in Albania. Located in eastern Albania on the border with North Macedonia, Lake Ohrid is the seventh deepest lake in Europe. The border between North Macedonia and Albania runs right through the lake, with Albania having the smaller part. Today we take you to the cosy little village of Kisha Lin and to a campsite on Lake Ohrid in Albania.

Today we continued northwards on Albania's mountain roads, from Himara to Radhima. The plan was only to travel a short distance, from one beach to another. But there are some mountains in between. We see the roads in front of us winding upwards, upwards in serpentines... Are we really going to drive there? Yes, we should!

The source "Syri i Kalter", Blue eye, is located in southern Albania, not far from the city of Saranda. We drove here directly after our visit to Butrint, and must say that the road to the mountains is absolutely beautiful. It feels like nature is doing well, because it is intensely green and right next to it the clear mountain water flows in a wide channel. But this is of course nothing compared to what we will soon see and experience.

Today we have driven from Syracuse to Naxos Giardini, which is just south of Taormina. Now we have almost rounded Sicily and pretty soon it's time for us to head over to Calabria on the Italian mainland. But not quite yet! First, of course, we will look around in Taormina and in Giardini Naxos. Today, on the road between Catania and Taormina, we have also seen the mighty volcano Etna from a distance.

We have now reached the Costa del Rei on the south-east coast of Sardinia. We had to "escape" from the hot Cagliari, where we were parked in the middle of the sun without the possibility of shade or swimming. We have taken in the camping Le Dune, where we got a relatively shady place.

It is wonderful to fricamp in Sardinia! It's now five days since we filled and emptied the tanks in the car and charged electricity from a pole. The water in the tank is probably almost gone, the electricity in the car is ticking down and the car is full of things that need to be emptied: rubbish, waste water, toilet. Nevertheless, we decide to hitchhike one more night!

The caves of Neptune, or Grotta di Nettuno as they are called in Italian, are located outside Alghero in Sardinia. Neptune's caves were discovered by fishermen in the 19th century and the cave system is one of the most famous on the island. A lovely boat trip took us there and it was very convenient in the summer heat. Come to the Neptune Caves in Sardinia!
