4.00Another lovely tour to Kruja is well organised, our guide a young lad with proud roots and a fantastic way to tell the history of his country unfortunately I can't remember his name. The only disappointment was that we couldn't see the view from above due to the thick clouds, not body's fault!! . We learned a lot about the greatest battles that this nation had over the years .
