Mount Dajti, Albania, Saturday, 20 and Sunday 21 October 2012

Saturday Karim and I planned to go to Dajti National Park, Albania, located 26 km to the east of Tirana. You can go up to 1230m above sea level in under 15 minutes, the Austrian-built Dajti Express cable car or Teleferiku. So Saturday we happily boarded a taxi for the Dajti Express, but unfortunately it was closed for repair. A lot of families and a bus from Kosovo also arrived together with us to try the Dajti Express, but as us they were in vain, and no information on their home page. Instead we took a walk among the villages on the mountain side. As we were informed that the Dajti Express would be working Sunday, we tried again, but not so surprisingly with the same negative result.
