IF it IS a non-return valve AND fitted the wrong way round, NO fuel COULD get through surely??
I wonder why that is. Albania strikes me as the kind of country where they wouldn't really care when a bar opens.
is that his burt reynolds pose .needs a stetsonMoved on today after lunch to Tirana ...that was an interesting drive. The drivers here are the worst ive encountered anywhere. No lane discipline...and some of the vehicles have to be seen to be believed ...no lights on many off them , scooters passing on both sides ...people and various animals in the roads even the main roads ...there was a man today on a scooter leading about 30 turkeys on ropes behind him on a dual carriageway with a 90kmp speed limit on it ...cows , goats you name it .. one big stretch of road outside Tirana at least 5 miles long is just yards selling car parts ,building materials and loads of hand car washes ...like bo exaggeration there must have been 40 or 50 in the one stretch of road ...a few miles on and its gridlock ...only moving half a car length at a time ...bendy busses like youve never seen they have 4 parts to them so twice the length of a normal bendy and driven by psychopaths ...scooters and cyclists going the wrong way up the road filtering between cars .... absolute madness. Diesel is very expensive at €1.83 and above and they only take cash... Cash machines charge for every withdrawal ...and only give lek ....3000 lek is around £20 but it costs you £23.85 to withdraw it. Badly need a supermarket now. And ive heard many of those only take cash too. Still lots of very dodgy looking characters around . But the people we have spoken to all seem very friendly so perhaps its just perception. Took us 3 hours to drive through Tirana ...2 places we looked at stopping were dirty and smelly so we are about 5 miles south now in a hotel carpark as it got dark. Not going to bother attempting to go back in to the city. Rain forecast for the next week so im hoping it's wrong. Possibly head for berat tomorrow once i have found another bank and filled up with diesel and found a supermarket. ....we will see.

Maybe religion related
Just giving my opinion on what ive seen so far. But there is some beautiful scenery around and from the people we've spoken to the locals are friendly ....its different. I think thats how I'd describe it .You're not painting a very appealing picture of Albania
It sounds a bit too lawless for most
Thanks for the update though, useful information
Im not sure he never said ....although this country is claimed to not have a religion theres a definate strong muslim presence theres a lot of mosques and very old mosques....that town shengjin that was next to Mario's place ....they took in 2500 afghan regfugees just last month ...but apparently they had to pay .I wonder why that is.

I went on october '97 & it was 300,000=£ Went back the following july & I'm sure it was 1,400,0000= £its almost as bad as the old Turkish Lira before it got devalued, your pocket was not big enough for the roll of notes equivalent to £100
I remember paying 30,000 TL for an antique genuine Persian silver box in a small town at the bottom of mount Ararat. It was something like £20... I still have the box and it is Persian hall marked.
No i don't think she'll go off on her own till we are in Greece ...then she might go off doing her own thing here and there and meet up again at different places. She's not too sure in these countries and has said several times she wouldn't have come to these countries on her own .I was hoping Jackie was still with you and hadn't diverted off on her own anywhere. It sounds a bit too risky for female solo travellers.
Enjoying the thread.
Its not his fault you don't have the right money though is it?
According to his other blog he is still in the same place, but he did say he was going to rest a couple of days.He’s in bandit country, the movie deliverance comes to mind
He seems to be doing a lot of walking around at his last place.
but seriously, I hope he's okay! Yeah in fact looking at the other polar steps thing, he doesn't seem to have updated that for two days either so presume he has lost signal on his phone.Is that the exercise area for the prison? Probably got banged up for his opinion on the rubbish

He will probably pop up in Greece anytime now.
If you want to see rubbish everywhere try India I bet the Albanians are mere amateurs.
I have been watching a lot of YouTube stuff about Indian workers makeing stuff , anything from frying pans to lorry engines and Axel's , amazing what they can do with a bit of scrap iron, and all done on the floor among the scrap and stuff ,all with bare feet or bits of sandels among red hot molten metal.
Here's one, not the best by any means, but not going to hijack the thread so not going to put any more on here.
