Përmet

On Thursday we took a bus to Përmet. The public transport is very complicated in Albania, so we struggled to get there. First we got a minibus to Sarandë, then to Telepena. The driver left us in a place on the road with a restaurant and anything else. We waited for another bus to Përmet for over an hour. Eventually I started hitch-hiking. We got a lift by a Greek man, who was a taxi driver, and he charged us €20 for a 40-minute ride. We were annoyed because we were hitch-hiking and initially he didn't tell us he was a taxi. We saw him the next day when we were figuring out how to get to the famous thermal waters. He took us there for a very good price, €10 (20 minutes drive) and he also picked us up. So at the end it all worked out great. Thermal waters and canyon were wonderful and I was glad I wasn't on a tour being rushed by a tour guide, as other people were.
