Day -10

I didn't get up early enough to catch the morning bus to Kukës so I took the bus to Prizren.
I was a bit weak after last day so I decided to skip town and go to Kukës soon.
Taxi drivers near the station started at 50 euros, went down to 35 and then 20. I thought I'll have to wait for the bus (3-4 euros) but than a guy approached me and offered a ride for 1o, so we went together. Of course this guy had to go there anyway but it was good for both of us.

The cheapest hotel in Bradt guide, Giallica, was upgraded and they charge 20 euros per night plus 5 for breakfast, so I went to look further. In town center I found Tirana hotel for 10 euros.

I took the room and went down to the bar, where I'd met Reshat, his brother two cousins and a friend. I had a beer with them and they refused my offer to pay, even for myself.
Reshat, who lives in Belgium and has a Belgian wife told me he's going later with his father to see his father's village and ancient tunnels dug near by.
I said I would be very glad to come' and so, in the afternoon Reshat, his father, wife and I went there. The tunnels are very deep, upto 500m. Nobody knows who dug them but local people say they are more than 2000 years old.
Today they are used for keeping food for winter, as it's cool and dry inside and things don't freeze when it's snowing outside.
Some entrances to the caves are used for domestic animals, and some were used as bunkers at Hoxha's era.
The village is on the shoulder of a mountain between the rivers White Drin north and Borjes south of the village. In the Borjes river valley by the road to Prizren, Kosova, there is a hill of copper mine debris.
This place should be researched and become a tourist attraction.
It was Saturday and there were many noisy colourful wedding parades since I came and more next morning.
