In 1945, there was no industry, the economy was feodal, the population vastly analphabetic (80-85%), child death rampant at 40% and diseases like polio and TBC were still endemic.

Hi there! I will be traveling to Albania in a month to visit my friend who is currently in the Peace Corp working in Shkoder.

If I had the time, I would have spent one day on Comino and it’s surrounding area because there are plenty of sea caves and beaches to explore. A day to travel the south and central part of the main island, and the last couple days to visit the most northern part of the main island and Gozo. IC1E7.
