Good. In my first visit to Albania, I may stay for a couple of days mainly to observe and learn a bit more about culture, and history. Perast was a peaceful place in Montenegro (a bit pricey), also ppl say north is worth visiting. Enjoy your time and keep telling stories visually! πŸ“·πŸŽžοΈβ˜€οΈ
