Europe #12: Durres street art and cigarettes

February 11

I was beckoned over  by a chap drinking coffee while I walked down the street. We, with his friend, had a good chat. They offered me a cigarette. I declined. I asked them what they did for a living, and got the impression that they really didn’t want to tell me.

February 12 – Street Art.

One thing I’ve noticed for its absence is street art. Nothing at all – until I chanced upon a side street next to the amphitheatre. I was told that the main artist had some backing from the council, otherwise it wouldn’t have been done. There are plenty of old buildings that could do with some colour – maybe it needs an Albanian Banksy?
