Tirana, Albania (Day 1, banquet)

At the end of a very, very long day of walking (over 20,000 steps), I was amply rewarded with a huge, delicious meal and live music in the most atmospheric place you could dream up.

The restaurant was called Sofra e Ariut. Check them out on social media:

See below for photos related to the workshop that hosted the banquet and photos of the restaurant.
