Trek to Blue Eyes

Our main activity in Theth, in the Albanian Alps, was a trek to “Blue Eyes,” a pool of crystalline water that looks, from above, like the eye of a blue-eyed giant.  Normally an 8 hour round trip hike, our great guide Armando found a “new plan,” a bumpy drive to a small hydro-electric power plant that cut the hike in half.  Whew!

It was a hot day and a rocky hike, but the scenery was extraordinary.





The approach was a little tricky ...


... but when we finally got to Blue Eyes, oh what a treat!

And we had a lovely picnik, to boot!
