Albanija road trip – uvertura v modri špilji v Črni gori

Odločitev za pot v Albanijo je bila sprejeta praktično tik pred odhodom. Prvotni plan novega road tripa po skandinaviji je padel v vodo zaradi covid pravil in Albanija je postala zaradi svojih “liberalnih” pravil pravšnja destinacija za te čase. In če nas je pred odhodom najbolj skrbelo, kaj vse nas čaka na meji, se je hitro pokazalo, da je strah popolnoma odveč. Črne gore, ki je uradno v tistih časih dovoljevala le tranzit, nismo imeli v nobenem planu. A ko nam je gospod na meji rekel, da smo še kako dobrodošli, je bilo treba izkorisiti lep dan in vsaj malo razmigati kosti na poti do albanske meje. Črno goro smo dobro obdelali že lansko leto in kar nekaj objav na to temo najdete TUKAJ. A ker nam je ostalo še kar nekaj lepih koncev za raziskovanje, smo se tokrat osredotočili predvsem na morje in lepo in enostavno kajakaško turo do modre špilje, ki leži na polotoku nasproti mesta Herceg novi. Polotok je verjetno zadnji malo manj obljudeni obalni del Črne gore, ki ponuja kar nekaj lepih atrakcij za morske kajakaše. Lansko leto smo se tako zapeljali do podmorniških tunelov in potopljene ladje na eni strani polotoka, tokrat pa je bil na vrsti še njegov drugi del in fantastična, mogočna modra špilja. Bil je to odličen začetek road tripa po Albaniji. 🙂

The decision to travel to Albania was made practically just before the departure. The original plan for a new road trip around Scandinavia fell into the water due to covid rules and Albania has become the right destination for these times due to its “liberal” rules. And if before leaving we were most worried about what awaits us at the border, it quickly became clear that the fear was completely unnecessary. We had no plan in Montenegro, which officially only allowed transit at the time. But when the gentleman at the border told us that we were very welcome, we had to take advantage of a nice day and a great tour before our road trip around Albania. We traveled around Montenegro last year and you can find quite a few posts on this topic HERE. But since we still have quite a few nice places to explore, this time we focused mainly on the sea and a nice and easy sea kayaking tour to the blue cave, which lies on the peninsula opposite the town of Herceg Novi. The peninsula is probably the last slightly more uninhabited coastal part of Montenegro, offering some beautiful attractions for sea kayakers. Last year we kayaked to the submarine tunnels and the sunken ship on one side of the peninsula, and this time it was time for the other part and the fantastic, mighty blue cave. It was a great start to a road trip around Albania. 🙂
