The final vlog of my three days in Tirana and I'm heading over to the Grand Park of Tirana - unfortunately the weather wasn't on my side and the early morning drizzle turned into a storm whilst I was there. Still, I managed to take a walk along some of the scenic trails, past war memorials and waterfront cafes and onto a perfect little strip of land by the water where I flew my drone. This park in Tirana is a wonderful place to explore and really should have been further up my list of things to see.

After getting very wet I headed across town to Pazari i Ri Farmers' Market in the heart of Tirana, a colourful and intriguing outdoor food hall close to one of the city's oldest neighbourhoods. The place was busy and it was definitely an area frequented by locals rather than tourists, the streets and shops were hectic and wherever you looked there was something going on. Definitely a cool place and an authentic slice of life in Tirana.

From there I caught a bus out to the suburbs of the city and found my way to the Dajti Express - a cable car system that whisked me close to the top of Dajti Mountain National Park in under 15 minutes. Remarkable considering the distance covered is nearly 3 miles and the upper station is almost 1,600 metres (5,249 feet) in altitude. The views at the top were stunning - a reason in itself to watch my final Tirana Albania vlog!

The grand finale of my incredible solo road trip around Albania saw me exploring some of the city's harder to get to destinations and places that are not on the main tourist route. An alternative look at the city and a good way to spend you're second or third day in the capital city of Albania, especially if you want to get off the beaten track and see another side of Tirana.

Albania is an amazing country full of impressive sights, mind blowing history and a fascinating culture. Hopefully my Albanian Road Trip and travel vlogs have done it justice! Thanks for joining me and I look forward to seeing you in the next country.
