Some say winter is a bad thing. Snow, icy weather, long nights and short days. All I hear lately is complaints about how cold it is, how miserable it is, how everyone loves and misses summer. That’s right, I’m in the northern hemisphere right now.
Look I agree it’s a little more than just a bit nippy right now. It is getting super cold up here and don’t get me wrong, I am a summer lover too! Who could not love this?:

Some are calling it a conspiracy. I might have added my few cents to it to fuel it but it could also be a very big coincidence.
Yesterday while in Tirana we got two punctures. Exactly the same place on the wheel (just off the tread on the side wall). Only it was different wheels. One front and one back. Both punctures happened in the same general vicinity (the hotel parking lot). They happened 5 hours apart. Fortunately the vehicle we were driving had two spares.
Coincidence? Perhaps just jinxed!
This delayed us substantially during the day so we battled to get things done on time. This meant leaving Tirana after dark to head up the mountain roads. It was bad. Half way we ran into really bad fog. I could hardly see 5 meters in front of me. This is not a good place to be when you are traveling on really hectic treacherous mountain roads with 200 meter drop-offs.
Anyway, we got back safe and sound so all is well that ends well.
