Woke up to overcast sky and a chilly 13 degrees. Luckily we're not commuting today so we slept in and went for our omelette brekky with real cappuccinos (win) at 9. We set off around 10 to explore Dhermi village and walked all the way back up the mountain to the highway.
We stopped for a cold drink at a local 'old men' hangout and then continued up to the Church of Saint Maria where there was a beautiful view of the village, mountains and sea. Albania looks a lot like turkey, but it's slightly greener and is abundant with wildflowers growing between steps and walls and along paths which gives the place a charming and romantic kind of peace.
We were very lucky with the weather as it wasn't raining, even as we walked back down to the beach. But as soon as we sat down for lunch in a restaurant it started raining and getting even chillier - so good timing!
After a yummo meal of traditional saqanaki (prawn capsicum stew), shrimp salad and woodfired margherita pizza, we ran in the rain back to our hotel.
Weather was miserable so we spent the rest of the afternoon watching a Deadpool, Ryan meditating and me tapping, until we were pretty hungry and went down to the hotel restaurant for a seafood dinner (hoho yes we realise how lush we are living right now). There were two cats milling around so we fed them our fish heads, but one cat was so stupid. Ryan was trying to give it the fish head but it was freaking out and kept running away, while the other one knew what was going on and ate the first head, then tried to grab the second one. It had an odd human face too, it even tried to climb onto the table, so bold.
