A trip with the Police

After spending the night camped out on the Drymades beach (see pic bunkers in background) I realised I'd left my flash drive (with all my photo's on it) at the internet cafe back in Vlora.... So I go all the way back.

I picked up a ride with the police moonlighting as taxi drivers, which doesn't seem unusal for Albania. Actually when you consider the state of the policeman's car in comparison to usual polished BMW etc it becomes obvious why there's a problem with corruption and the Mafia. But it was a good drive, although the stop along the way for a large glass of Rakia was worrying , especially as the excepted method for overtaking on blind corners is to toot your horn!!

P.S Predictably I didn't find my flash drive only the cord.
