On my way home last night, I heard a band playing, the keyboardist sounded like Georgie Fame, and so I followed the sound. After walking into the night I arrived at a blockade. It was the Green Line and the music was coming from the other side of the border. Without my passport in hand, I couldn’t get to the band and so missed out on what sounded like a great night of music. It made be appreciate even more the problems brought about by division. It sounds like the music scene is much better on the Turkish side. The Greek music scene is mainly based around acoustic performances, that is with the exception of the lad who rocked Nicosia on Friday night. Perhaps it’s just my imagination. Like in Berlin before the fall of the wall, the east aspired to listen to the wests music, but was it so great?

This morning I went on the hunt for breakfast, but being Sunday, everything was closed. The only restaurants that were open were multinational companies, and so I ended up in McDonalds.

In the afternoon I visited the A.G. Leventis Gallery. This exhibited a range of Cypriot and European Art. Next I stopped at the Leventis Municipal Museum of Nicosia, which documented the history of Cyprus. I then stopped at the Shacolas Tower, which offers panoramic views of the city. Gazing north it wasn’t hard to observe the Turkish flag sprawled across a mountainside.

In the 41 degree Celsius heat, I went in search of Paphos Gate, which is the western gate of the city. It looked as though it was once in the Green Line but at some point the line had been moved. Close to it I found the Nicosia Municipal Theatre. It’s a really grand building.

This evening I visited a restaurant close to where I was staying. I am starting to appreciate how cool my local area is. It’s on the eastern outskirts of the old city. There are lots of abandoned buildings and warehouses but some of them have been converted into bars and art galleries. It’s a quiet area and I think the best part of Nicosia.

It’s my last night in Nicosia. Tomorrow I take the bus to Larnaca. It is hot in Nicosia, even now at 22:30pm, it’s 32 degrees Celsius. I will be sad to leave Nicosia, but I’m looking forward to swimming in the sea!

I woke up at 1pm. Housekeeping were banging on my door and I’d lost the morning. If I were to be professional I would say that I had jet lag. If I were to be honest, I had too many strawberry juices in the Old Town last night.

I walked the streets to find the closest thing to breakfast at 2pm and found a Starbucks. Making up for lost time I made my way to the Museum of National Art. Just outside the Old Town I stopped to admire a church. I decided to enter and was kindly welcomed in. I completed a questionnaire about trying to increase church tourism in Romania and explored the Orthodox Church for a while before striking up conversation with a lady volunteering and asked a few questions. She was more than happy to answer my questions and enlightened me on the history of religion in Romania. It turns out that most Christians in Romania are Greek Orthodox. Thinking about it, Greece isn’t that far away. The conversation was interesting but went on for an hour. An elderly lady who had come to pray was not happy about us speaking so loudly and said that she prayed for us or something of the like. Speaking quieter, I was educated on the history of the saints. Particularly focus was put on St Nicholas. Then the topic of music came up. At this point we left the church and stood on the steps, where she played me a hymn sung in Romanian on her phone and translated every line. The song lasted for 4 minutes and 44 seconds…We said our goodbyes and I made my way to the National Museum of Art. I learnt a lot about religion in Romania from our conversation and also discovered that most of the tourist attractions are located on one long road called Calea Victoriei.

Walking up Calea Victoriei, I discovered grand buildings from Bucharests golden era built in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. It felt like Budapest or Paris. Well, it turns out that many of the buildings in Bucharest are designed by a French architects or at the very least inspired by them. This is why it is referred to as Little Paris.

I made it to the National Museum of Art which was located in one of the grand buildings. There were two sections to it, Romanian Art and European Art. The exhibits were impressive and I enjoyed my visit but I am mainly interested in 20th Century art. The art on display was predominantly from the 16th and 17th centuries.

A short walk up the road I found the Romanian Athenaeum, a Neoclassical concert hall built in 1888. The interior was one of the most beautiful things that I have ever seen. I took my seat and enjoyed watching and listening to a youth orchestra rehearsing. The acoustics were amazing!

I made my way back to my hotel to freshen up for the evening and stopped off at Carrefour on my way. Placing most of my purchases in my small brown bag, I ended up setting the alarm off and being stopped by the security guard. How would I convince someone who didn’t speak English that I hadn’t been shoplifting. Thankfully I had a receipt. After a unnecessary momentarily panic the guard waved me on my way. I made my way back to my hotel where I freshened up for the evening.

The Old Town on a Friday and Saturday night is absolute carnage. Like many Eastern European cities, it is somewhat spoilt by the vast amount of stag parties who dominate the city at weekends. Nevertheless it is a fun night out. Most people were in large groups making it hard to break into, so it’s not the best location for a solo traveller, but it was fun.

In the early hours I strolled back to my hotel. As soon as you get outside the Old Town you realise that everyone is poorly maintained and falling apart. Newly bricked roads suddenly turn into quick sand whilst the gradient of the pavements ascends and descends with the elevation of Everest. A few steps from my hotel I tripped over an unstable paving block and fell straight down. The situation wasn’t helped by the lack of lighting. I lay on the floor for a while waiting for the ref to signal foal play, but justice didn’t arrive. My only comfort came from a lady further down the street who called to me “are you ok”. I was ok, but I had experienced the greatest fall in Bucharest since the fall of communism.

I dragged my suitcase along the long straight road towards the bus station. I arrived in good time and made my way past numerous taxis drivers who hustled for business. With every step which I took away from them, the price seemed to decrease. I walked around the car park for a few minutes looking at the destination placards on the coaches. One of the drivers asked me where I was going. I replied, “the airport” and he pointed me towards a small minibus with a placard which read ‘airport’ displayed in the window. I had confidence that this was the right airport because it’s the only international one in the country.

At 11am we set off towards the airport. Somewhere along the road we were cut up by a driver in a smart car. We ended up overtaking him, before he cut in front of us again and sped off down the road, in doing so, he gave our driver a mighty glare. The driving in the Balkans is very questionable.

Within 35 minutes, we arrived at the airport. I had to collect my boarding pass from the check-in counter because Tirana airport does not have the technology to read digital boarding passes yet. I collected my pass and made my way to the security check. All of my luggage got pulled off to one side and they put my suitcase through the scanner again. A security officer then aggressively searched my suitcase, pulling everything apart in the process. Eventually, he found what he was looking for, my guitar capo. He looked at it with intrigue and asked me what it was. I explained that it is a guitar capo, strumming an air guitar in the process. The Albanian gentleman beside me explained to the officer in Albanian what it was and also began to play the air guitar. Then, the gentleman next to him joined in. It must have been a funny site, watching three men play the air guitar during a security check. I was allowed to keep the capo and was then firmly told to “take my suitcase and go!” Without any hesitation, I made my way to border control. They scanned my passport electronically and waved me through.

I stopped for food before boarding my flight and spent my last €15 on a panini, crisps and a coffee. It was very expensive! After a short wait, I boarded my flight. The flight was pleasant and took just under 3 hours. As I walked through the airport, I struck up conversation with an Albanian man who asked me what I thought of Albania. I expressed my satisfaction to which he was pleased.

Albania is a fascinating country, I enjoying exploring the bunkers and learning about the history. The sunsets in Durrës are spectacular and I appreciate even more how special this region of the world is. I will return to Albania someday, and it will be to experience the beaches in the south of the country, an area known as the Albanian Riviera, but for now, there are other countries to explore.
