So the verdict is in.... Well. sort of!
A mate of mine had headed out to Albania for 10 days with the missus and rugrat and they had the time of their lives and Albania being Albania was nice and cheap and as I am such a cheapskate it appeals to me, but there are no longer any ferries from Trieste you have to motor down to Ancona for the ferry to Durres which is a ten hour ride where you fall out of the bottom of Germany, through Austria and then a third of the way down the Italian boot.
Or head through Switzerland into Italy to Genua and Bastia on Corsica, some really, really nice camping there and the mountain roads are a blast, I get all giddy just by looking at the maps. It is a seven hour sail to the island, which belongs to France by the way.
So it will be a toss of the coin.
