| - It's a great ride as it goes a long way for 700lek round trip.
- From the Tirana Market roundabout you take the bus east for 3Km then hop on the free shuttle. I walked as the sign sain 150m ...it's actually 1500m
- At the top is a sign saying Dajti Castle 1.2Km ..actually it's more like 3.2Km as it is 1Km past the Panoramic hotel ..but the ruins are in the forest and not much to see
- I picked some mushrooms in the forest, which I recognise from experience to be safe. I hoped to confirm this by asking the Albanian hostel owner
...but when I got back to the hostel she didn't know .. I planned to make sure they were safe by just tasting a little, but everyone elses talk at the made me paranoid..."oh you shouldn't eat those mushrooms you might get sick" they all droned. This was funny as they were all smokers so these people warning me about possible poison put certain poison into their body every day. - Straight after eating the mushrooms I did a 180° change in mood ....not from the mushrooms as they don't reach your blood instantly, but the droning negative talk of the other people made be go from open to completely tired and full of worry. I started to question my own logic and went to the internet to check , but I was too tired to do it properly .... So I went to bed in an anxious mood
- Of course there were no physical effects at all and despite their talk I woke up the next day completely alive. Then when
I went to the cyber to check properly
I found this good website which shows the only ones like it are not poisonous rogersmushrooms.com Agaricus abruptibulbus or Agaricus leucotrichus

- Pascal still tried to say you can't believe it's safe just cos you read it on the net. But that's crap that same information could have been in a book and you'd have to believe it. Once we say we can't believe books and can only rely on direct contact with experienced people we'd never learn much at all.
