Pedalbania – Prologue
Arrival in Pogradec
25 May 2018
Staying in Hotel Millennium, Tushemisht, Pogradec.
After catching a ridiculously early bus from Oxford to Gatwick, a three and a half hour flight to Tirana and a 3 hour transfer in an 8-seater minibus we’ve arrived at our hotel just outside Pogradec. ‘We’ being Peter and me plus 5 other cyclists booked on this Exodus cycling holiday. Our leader is Erlis, the driver is Vato. Erlis has lived in Canada for a while and speaks good English.
Our bikes are here but we won’t get them set up for us individually until we set off tomorrow morning. I’m the only one who’s brought their own pedals. The minibus is also our support vehicle, aka The Broom Wagon; the bikes are all carried on a large trailer.
The hotel is comfortable and well-equipped, with a terrace overlooking the lake. The food’s good – plenty of vegetables, chips(!), and a main course of the special local trout which are only found in this particular lake.
