Into the mountains

The minibus to Koman ferry leaves Shkoder around 6 am and will pick you up from your hotel upon request. Another beautiful 2 hour ride ( 5 eur), led us to koman ferry.
Espresso with tiny yellow plums from the small balcony of the Cafe, is a good way to see the beautiful lake/fiord/dammed river, and the hustle of all the locals, tourists and different vehicles attempting to board the different ferries.

Tickets to the ferry were sold to us on the minibus, for the new small ferry Called Betisha (5 eur) .

We were up for an almost three hours flotilla surrounded by mountains whose feet are in the water and whose heads are in the clouds!
We sat on the ferry's roof, cold from the very strong wind, but weren't able to leave the views for the warmth of the indoor seating area.

Tickets to the minibus from Fierze ( where the ferry ends), were sold on the ferry...
This minibus rides along the Valbone river with its clear emerald pools, all the way to our guest house (Rilindja-25 eur incl breakfast) , situated on the river with mountains all around its wooden structure.

Another local meal ( pure cholesterol is injected to your veins with every meal - unless you only eat the Greek salad...) and a rest before we explore the area.

After a Saturday afternoon "shlaftshtunde", we went for a short walk into the woods. these high massive trees with lots of greenery, and a small wooden "hut" - would make the perfect set for a "Hanzel and Gretel" play.

BTW we are not the only Israelis here...
