I had not realized that when choosing the Erandi Hotel in Rinas I was right next to Tirana airport. In fact, the hotel is a few kilometres from Fush-Kruja and not at all close to Rinas!. This little detail caused me inconvenience because I had chosen Rainis as my destination on my GPS which made me pass by a dirt road. Fortunately, good Samaritans guided me in the right way, I made half a turn and arrived safely at the hotel.
A former co-worker noticed that another colleague was about to take a trip to Albania. It didn't take more than that for Marc-André Bibeau (the other colleague in question) to send me a Facebook invitation and we could discuss to see if there was a possibility that we would meet. We have concluded that we will miss out by a little, which is a shame because Marc-André is Albanian-born and he would probably have helped my understanding of this original nation. All this story to explain that the rest of my adventure comes from a suggestion from Marc-André not to miss the opportunity to see Thethi National Park! The problem is that you have to cross a coast of 1.5 km to get to Theth. But I found the solution. Lake Shkodra Resort offers excursions to Theth. So I arrived at this luxury campsite where I spend a night in a yurt-shaped tent and tomorrow I take a bus to Theth or I will spend the day and night to return to my luxury tent on Sunday. There's always a way when you want to!
Here's a map of my journey from Fush-Kruja to Shkodra.
And here are the pictures of Lake Shkodra Resort.

And my tent, internal view. 
The view of Lake Shkodra 
You'd think you were in the south. 
Fruit salad and beer for my muscles 
And some images of my course that was quite fast because I made a good portion on national roads with a lot of traffic and no shoulder.
