Some of the people we met on the 2008 tour of Albania and Montenegro

 
 
Mama

This is mama. We stopped at her cafe after following the rood on the the west side of Lake Skadar on the way to Virpazar. She prepared a wonderful lunch with fresh produce from her own garden and also served a excellent home-made rakija. The interior of the cafe is full of fascinating old photographs and posters.
