Good Bye Albania, Good night Athens
Sunday morning saw us packed and ready to go to Church Albania style. Once there we greeted most of the 30 odd people, about 5 of whom spoke English. It was very friendly.
One man sat next to us and started translating, which was wonderful. The service was based around Abraham and Isaac and was to do with the sacrifice today of Eid for the majority Muslim population. Remember the goats tied up from yesterday?
After the service we ate icecream in a downstairs cafe and then headed off to the airport. We were a couple of hours earlier than necessary as we needed to fit in with Xaku's family, but that was fine. We felt we'd had a great taste of Albania and weren't hankering to see anything else.
We arrived in Athens, took an uber to the apartment which was gorgeous and we wished we could stay longer. Slept well and woke at 5.15 for a 5.45 departure.
