4 Countries makes for a long day

Well, today did not go quite as planned. I was all up for an early start with tent down and bike packed by 6.30am. Unfortunately I hadn't seen the notice saying gates open at 8am. Oh well. 

So after claiming my free coffee at 8.01 I was wheels rolling by 8.07 on way.

Border with Albania,. Easy. €15 for insurance all under 15 mins and on way to my target campsite, high up in mountains near the Kosovo border. I assume there would be a breeze up high. Wrong! It was 35 degrees and I was sweating.  

Arrived at the campsite for 2.30pm. Bargain. What! Closed until July. Bugger! Google said next nearest was 68km in the wrong direction (that is about 90mins on those roads). 

As only 20min from Kosovo I thought I would carry on and take first campsite there. This was only €10 for insurance and a little longer at nearly 20mins to get sorted. 

Through the border, fill up bike and grab a fizzy drink. Use free wifi and ask locals but no campsite (none in Kosovo at all according to my Sat Nav).  

Now 4.30pm and I am getting tired. So make a run for the next border and cross into Montenegro. €10 again for insurance and head down the harpins into Rozaje. Still no campsites according to my GPS. 5.15pm and starting to think about looking for a hotel and then saw a sign and ended up at a very weird eco site but they are cooking me dinner later so fingers crossed.

I only have one more insurance related border to do and then I will be back in EU and things become easier (actually I enjoy the paperwork fun at the border)
