After a couple of days in Tirana I decided to move south to Berat. I took a bus from Tirana, and after about four hours I arrived and checked into my hostel, Berat backpackers. It proved to be a good choice to visit Berat, it's a really beautiful town with a citadel on the hill and rows of Ottoman era houses on the hill below. The only problem being that I struggled to leave. In order to get to my next destination - Ohrid in Macedonia it required a fairly early start, but this wasn't so easy when there is a plentiful supply of Raki! Still, not such a bad place to get stuck.
After my second failed attempt of leaving, we decided to go to some nearby waterfalls and go for a swim - the water was a bit too cold for that, but it was a fun trip including hitch hiking in the back of a truck on the way up to the waterfall.
When I failed to leave in time for a third day, I decided action was needed - unfortunately that action was to leave but in the wrong direction - back to Tirana. The plus points were that I got to go and see a Manu Chao concert!
