Manhattan Beach in Durres

When I left for the border crossing from Macedonia to Albania, it was already past noon. I had originally planned on hitchhiking to Berat, but my last ride of the day advised me to join him to Durres instead since it was getting dark and I would have a hard time catching another ride towards Berat. This is how I ended up at this beach resort town. It certainly was an interesting experience to see this side of Albania, but I prefer the less developed beaches further South.
