No one spoke english and boarder crossing took too much time. The buss driver let in to the bus people who were selling fake passports. The drivers were smoking the whole trip inside the bus and playing horrendeus music and made dangerous passes on the road. There was also a surprise bus change in Elbasan which was told only in Albanian so we did not understand it.

Your bus is fine but your stops have no quality food ready to take and leave quickly. I saw one stand where one guy was servicing 40 people looking for good yo eat
