Back Inside Albania

I am back after spending just over a couple of weeks in Iraq. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised and things seemed to be better than what we see in the news. There were things I believe Iraq can learn from Albania and vice versa but I shall come write more about that when I have given it a bit more thought.

I was very pleased to see the Blue Eye or Syri Kaltër written about quite positively like most of Albania’s natural beauties. I have to confess that I have yet to visit the Blue eye, so if any of you have been there before please give me tips on where to go and what to do there and where is the best place to eat. All your recommendations are welcome, and hopefully you will convince me to go there very soon.

Another interesting piece of news which if true is a definite step in the right direction concerns wind generated electricity. The article states that Albania plans to become a ‘major’ wind energy producer, and aims to sell some of the energy to Italy. I like the idea, I mean dont get me wrong I am not one of these Green freaks but its clean, and Albania really doesn’t need more pollution. Its also obvious that Albania has some energy problems, and why not utilise wind to produce some clean energy as well as that nuclear power plant that they are planning to build in Vlora. Now that I am completely against, only because I cant trust them to run it safely. So wind is good guys, I just hope they deliver a wind farm instead of pocketing the money and giving us a windmill.

Finally a shout goes out to the National football team, good result against the Swedes, more of the same and you never know………………….
