Pictures and video of Porto Palermo

Fantastic picture of Oskar peeking around the wall with his tounge out. He inherited that from his papa. This is one photo that you should click on to see the full size image.

Oskar's onion treasure

Our tidy little red car. A Renault Senic. As we were driving around Albania, we paid $7 per gallon of gas--174 lek ($1.75) per liter. 1.75 x 4 = $7 per gallon. In Croatia, it was 9.76 kuna ($1.95) per liter. 1.95 x 4 = $7.80 per gallon.

This is the portion of the castle that was rebuilt by Ali Pasha in the 1700's. He built a mosque. It is still in good shape while the rest of the place is quite dimantled.

Most of these bumkers are along the borders and some face the sea. This one, and the others in the others in the picture below, were probably placed to defend the strategic importance of the castle--which can be seen in the background on top of the mountain.

There are four bunkers far down the mountain from the castle. One of them is circled, the others are on the same level to the left in the picture.

At the beach.


We stayed in bungalow #4.

Beautiful water.

Boys playing, throwing rocks. This taken minutes before Maxim smacks Oskar's foot with a rock. (no injuries)

Maxim finds a treasure. (One section of the larger video above on this page)
