So, did you bring your spare set of legs along or just replace them when you got back? 
Beautiful photos, str . Haven't ever been to that region. Looks like an incredible place to tour.

Montenegro is very beautiful, same for Kosovo and Albania. But also a bit hard, 22700m climbing on 1900km we did. 🥵 I am very happy for my wife (she is happy too) to have managed the 4 weeks greatly. will show you some more impressions the next days. all best ...

The Kinzua Railroad Bridge was built in the late 1880s in only 3 months. At the time, it was the world’s longest and tallest structure of its kind. In 2003, it took only a few seconds for an EF 1 tornado to destroy most of it.

My tour was 17 days total, with a couple of days off here and there. I had to change the plan three times due to heat (42°C|107F at Berat) and wildfires (south of Vlore, also Gjirokaster two days later).
Here is the track

and some pictures. There is a bunch of them inside that track on RideWithGPS and I might post more of them here, if I find the time to make a selection

Oh, start of my tour matched the second half of your ride that day, except we went in the opposite directions.
My tour was 17 days total, with a couple of days off here and there. I had to change the plan three times due to heat (42°C|107F at Berat) and wildfires (south of Vlore, also Gjirokaster two days later).

Also, old towns of Berat, Gjirokaster and Korçë are very, very interesting.
