Bari to Durres to Thessaloniki

We stopped for groceries near the ruins of the old church, then walked back up the street to the train station. From the station we walked east, following the original route of the Via Egnatia. This was a nice walk along the tracks into Lolaj, where we ran into a huge number of school children at a coffee shop. We spent a lot of time talking to the school children and drinking coffee. Near #4 on the map we stopped at a cafe, where we had a wonderful mixed grilled food lunch. Then across a rough old bridge, and after passing through a town we walked through beautiful farm land along the river. After several kilometers it started raining and it was a difficult muddy walk into Broshke. In we asked at several houses to try to find a place to stay. We finallly found the house of Tomarr Baho, where we were welcomed with homemade grappa and coffee. We ate a huge meal with this wonderful family and we stayed the night in Ingrit Baho's house across the street.
