Hiking Mt Dajti
So there's lots of Albanian holidays in the month of November...Mark gets all of them off! We had a beautiful cool day and decided to take the tram up to Mt Dajti.. It is the highest peak in Tirana, about 20 minutes drive, but world's away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Mark's boss, Gary, and co-worker, Martha, and I took the Tram from the bottom to mid way up. We were told there was a "trail" up to the top.. Fabulous views from the tram, just like one you'd take to go skiing or mountain biking up Mammoth.. Built by the Swiss. There's a restaurant and hotel at the midway point, but we were determined to get to the top. The boys said they were "scouts" and we'd find it.. After a half an hour of "scouting", Gary and I decided, oh heck, let's just go UP! And UP we did, with a little sliding and cursing and heavy breathing, 3 of us didn't quite make it... Gary, the man, succeeded.. Here are pics to prove it.. I'm going to total plagiarize Mark's blog.. his pictures and descriptions are soo much better than mine.. I was just happy to make it down in one piece.. Thanks Honey!
