Join us on an unforgettable journey through the breathtaking mountains of Albania! 🌄 In this adventure, Michele and I explore the heart of nature, encountering warm, welcoming locals who share their stories and traditions, despite the language barrier. One lovely woman even introduces us to her goats-her kind spirit shining through every gesture. 🐐💖
As we ascend, we discover the hidden treasure of Albanian mountain tea, brewed with lemon, honey, and local herbs. 🍋🍯 A simple yet delicious drink that perfectly complements the rugged beauty around us. Along the way, we stumble upon "strawberry tree" fruits and juniper berries??-wild and unique treats that the locals swear by for their health benefits. 🌿🍓
Guided by two brothers we just met, we brave steep, rocky trails with sweeping views that take our breath away. The climb is challenging but rewarding, filled with laughter, camaraderie, and stunning scenery. The descent is no less thrilling, as we navigate tricky paths, marvel at the changing terrain, and reflect on the importance of preserving these pristine landscapes. 🌍💚
From picking vibrant berries to cleaning up stray bits of plastic, this trek becomes more than just an adventure-it’s a celebration of nature, human connection, and the kindness of strangers. By the end, we’ve made new friends, learned a little more about this beautiful country, and carried away memories that will last a lifetime. 🌟
Watch as we soak in the magic of Albania’s mountains, discover its hidden treasures, and embrace the unexpected joys of travel. Don’t forget to like, comment, and subscribe for more adventures! ✨

[@pcpr80]

In portugal we call that medronho. Good for making brandy.

[@dwaynewladyka577]

Pretty awesome view. I've never seen fruit like that. A hand rail, or a guard rail would help. That looks pretty steep. Cheers, Steve and Michelle! ✌️

[@chrisgartenn]

wow! I did not expect to see the strawberry tree there! Funny enough the strawberry tree is actually native to the north west and south west of Ireland even though its considered somewhat exotic. There are several throughout Dublin also which are 6-7 metres tall. We call it the Kilarney Strawberry tree.

[@mendjelire8392]

It's native throughout the Mediterranean basin.

[@fragileimagination]

Oh I've seen that plant when I was in Tunisia but I didn't have the courage to try it

[@byronchandler667]

Now I’m hungry for strawberries, Steve, ol buddy, but if I end eating three strawberries, I’d end up as a frog. 🐸 🍓

[@Steve-Owens]

@byronchandler667 Really Byron bud.. why's that. 😉

[@jr9147]

it's a toxic fruit. don't ait mor then 3 or 4 of them

[@mendjelire8392]

They're not toxic! They are just too high in sugar, at 40%, that's why in Albania they do not eat more then 3 or 4 fruits at a time as they say you can get drunk eating them.
