It's nice of you that you wrote a TR!Not a lot of TRs are written after a year. It's good you broke the rule! It must have been wonderful trip. If I have the time, I will go to balkanian mountains as well. I like their shapes and also that they are made mostly by limestone. Looking at steep slopes of Maja Jezerce that you climbed reminds me my last trip to the High Tatras. That steep slope in too thiny ice (so that crampons cannot be used) and little snow and strong winds - that would be quite challenging. And this is the right reason we go up there, isn't it? Cheers Tomas ;)

Re: It's nice of you that you wrote a TR!Diakjujem, Tomase!
Ano Prokletije jsou velmi podobne jako nase Tatry i tako velmi kameniste i nasypane.
This year didn't manage to go there so I'm writing this instead :) I'm determined to go next year, you're welcome to join, there'll be another strong SP team :)

Thanks for advice!Hi there, I just wanted to say thank you very much for the help - reading your blog before my friend and I went to Thethi last week really helped a lot! However, as much as we absolutely LOVED Thethi and the whole journey/experience, we did meet someone who put a negative side to our journey, so I hoped that by telling people about it on here, in case anyone is reading as I did, maybe this will help people in future.
We took a lift from a man calling himself Guiseppe from Boga. He owns the cafe that is pretty much the last building you come to in Boga. He told us he would take us to Thethi for the day in a jeep (it was not a jeep but a rubbish car that broke on the way back and we had to walk). He then tried to charge us for the car breaking! He also took our money, far far more than we had agreed, and said that he was charging us extra because the tour had taken hours longer than we'd agreed (which was his fault because he kept stopping to go inside his friends' houses the whole journey when he knew we needed to get back by a certain time). He was delaying our day because he really wanted us to stay at his guesthouse. Anyway, lots of things happened that made us angry, he got us lost for well over an hour in the woods, and at the end of the day he snatched our money from us and his wife grabbed my friend by the throat. It was not a nice experience. This is a real shame because we LOVED Albania in general and Thethi in particular and we would certainly go back, everyone is so so welcoming and friendly, just apart from Guiseppe, so hopefully if anyone reads this you can avoid him at all costs, he likes to rip off tourists as we were told by a very nice man we met. I hope this is of some help.

Re: Thanks for advice!Glad to know I could be of any help. Sory to hear about your bad experiences, looks like everywhere a black sheep can be found... Maybe it's a side effect of commercialisation that some people get greedy?
Cheers and good luck in your future travels!
