Bribes, Cavity Searches and Quirky Trulli Houses

Leaving Albania was more eventful than I had hoped. A year earlier when leaving the country I was stopped at the border by Albanian customs. They told me I wasn’t supposed to leave my car in Albania for more than six months and it was going to cost €1500 to rectify the situation. But after some discussions and negotiations we paid a €100 bribe which was shared with their Montenegrin colleagues and we were on our way.
