- This is why you need to travel to northern Albania! Lake Shkodra near Shkodër is quite possibly our favourite place in Albania! From the glistening blue water, to the mountain backdrop and the incredible food, this area is just one of the most beautiful and calming we've seen here in the Balkans! 🇦🇱

Front of beach having lunch is amazing
I just found you on UA-cam about a week ago, and been watching your video since. You are such genuine people and a perfect match. Your casual way of introducing the places is so refreshing. During this troubled time knowing that I can turn on the channel and see your program makes the days less grey, especially knowing how hard you work on tight budget but still smile so happily has touched my heart. Wish you all the best.
Thank you so much Shirley! Really appreciate your lovely words! 🥰 It makes us feel amazing that we can brighten your day even if just a little! ❤️ Makes it all worthwhile ❤️
World is to huge to see it all..u give us a chance to see a glimps of it..thank you for that

Great video - the last city in Albania was very unique I loved the architecture! The restaurant scene was awesome! You 2 make my day ❤️ thank you
Thank you so much Jo Ann! So glad you are along with us 🥰
The view is amazing
It was awesome 😊
Good to see u again guys 😍😍😍
You too Muhammad 😊
Lovely vlog! We loved the fresh fish in Albania. We miss the city of bikes!
Thank you guys 😊
I’ve never had carp but it looked so good! And I love eating food right from where you are! It is so beautiful where you guys are!
The outtake at the end was incredible 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 💜💜💜💜
we love that too, proper experiencing the place then :)
hahaha, thank you! making you laugh makes me happy :)
Carp looked delicious at the beginning of the video. I don't think I've had carp. Nice salad too. 🐟
We'll carpe Diem
It's actually really good 😊
Carp was popular among European monks, who raised them in ponds, and I believe it's popular in central Europe. In America, it's considered a trash fish, and even sport fishermen dislike them, in spite of them being very popular in the UK. It's a soft bodied meat, and Americans prefer a firmer fish to eat. And they're considered to live in muddy water, which can give them an equally muddy taste.
Hey kids, now in Albania, you are doing my itinerary, hope to bread is good there! Happy travels from Cordoba, Andalusia, (a must travel destination)
Hey Kipp! We can confirm the bread is awesome 😁 love to Andalusia! ❤️
@@MattandJulia great stuff, enjoy and keep making tracks
Po shkodra është shumë e bukur
I LOVED SHKODËR! Funny, I had coffee most mornings at San Francisco restaurant. I did my Balkans tour last year, so I love watching your videos now to see if we hit the same spots🤠
It is a beautiful city! And the Lake os Just, wow! 😍 So glad we can bring back some memories ❤️
Everything I know about Albania came from the TV show Cheers.
Haha, hopefully we showed you a little more 😊
Beautiful Place for the having lunch
It was pure luck that we found it to be honest 😁
There was no footage of Matt (an English person) eating carp. I suspect Julia (as an Anglo-Russian) only halfheartedly ate the carp.
Hahaha, we have no idea why we didn't film me to be honest, I did enjoy it though and crushed that stereotype, I promise 😉
I’m English and personally a fan of scaly man fish
Haha, crush that stereotype!
I live in Canberra, ACT. Each year they have fishing competitions to get carp out of our local lake, Lake Tuggeranong. It is interesting that we don’t eat carp and consider it a pest.
Yes.... See all these years, I told you Sparkling water is nice, even better with a squeeeezzzze of lemon xxx
Now your talking!!! Especially in the heat 😍❤️
I was in Shkodra last May and loved it!
Carp is a bottom feeder, hence the reason many people avoid it
Fish looks yuuummmmyyyy also the beef ribs
The fish was the star of the show for sure 🐠❤️
Salad is awesome guys
I like Albania a lot it’s amazing country:)
Us too 😊
Where I am in the US, Carp is usually referred to as repulsive. Ive not tried it though!
The term sounds about right :)
It was actually really good! I'd recommend it! (famous last words) 😅
Sparkling water is like drinking electricity 😅😅😅😅😅. I love Glina Sparkling water.
Albania ❤
I was the same way with sparkling water. I too am a convert. My wife said I have seen the light and bubbbles....
This is so true! We were all just a little less cultured before 😉
❤🎉حلو. راح اكمله اسمع الشرح
I really enjoyed seeing Albania, through your eyes. Enjoy Montenegro! Are you going to Budva? It's pretty there! xx
Hi Christian 😊 thank you so much, yes we are, looking forward to sharing it ❤️
the Mississippi river has been invaded by a large carp and it is considered an invasive species. the fun part is when people in their motor boats disturb them, they jump out of the water and can smack you in the head..maybe 20 pounds. fun for those for us without a boat .
I was in Albania a few years ago and was amazed to find a bunker had been built on top of and inside, a Roman amphitheatre ....you know how you do ? That aside, a lovely country and another
lovely video from Matt and Julia....thank you Xx
Glad you enjoyed it John! 🥰❤️
Julia, you are so fun to watch...those expressions are golden! Greets from Macedonia! Love you guys
Haha, thank you so much! Love to Macedonia 😊❤️
The moment I was writing the text you said the food was awful, anyway that happened. Thanks for sharing your experience. By the way Shkodra is city of bikes.
Good size carp that! The outtake with your description of the restaurant scene was hilarious Julia, it gave me so much joy that I had to watch it over and over! 😂😂😂
Hahaha, I aim to please Johan! 😄😄😄❤️
It looks so pretty!! I’ve never tried Carp but because I really don’t like most fish, I don’t think it would be my thing :(
You never know until you try it 😉 it was actually really good 😊
@@MattandJulia that is very true 😃
I love Albania! ❤
❤
Sit next to the ..🙄😁😁..Lake .....😁😁😁 ...Such a funny ..(Julian).Lol ..She reminds me the drama school schedule days ...
Hahaha, I aim to please 😄
That southern border of Montenegro is majority Albanian it got ceded to Montenegro cause they ceded from ottoman and wanted more land. Soon they will join Albania again
We noticed a lot of ethnic Albanians in Macedonia too
@@MattandJulia yes Albania is majority in western Macedonia but we never got to go with Albania cause Macedonia wanted more land and stole it from us
💙
Enjoy your stay in Montenegro guys ( that evil look at 01:38 tho, XD )
Thank you so much Duke ❤️
Sparkling water 🤢. Love your vids!!! 😂🍻🍹🍹🥰🙅♀️🙅♀️
Is it true you don't need any test to visit Albania?
This is true
Hello! What is the name of the camping? I am looking for the place where to swim 😊
what is the restorant name and place?
New video 😍
😊
👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍
😊😊😊❤️❤️❤️
Name of the Restaurant please?
CUTE VIDEO!! New subscriber here. Was wondering if they wear masks there; my husband and I are looking to travel somewhere without all the mask rules, etc...
Thank you so much Gretchrn, really appreciate it! ❤️ No, masks are.a rarity in Albania, as well as Armenia x
@@MattandJulia good to know. We will not go someplace where they wear them so we will look into those countries. Thank you!!
hahaha...Americans don't generally like carp either. Here in the beautiful Pacific Northwest carp is a trash fish.
New video uploaded 🥰👍
😊😊😊
1:30 hahahah
😁😁😁😁❤️
Hellooo Helloooo
Heeeey ❤️
UK people dont usually eat carp, freshwater fish taste a bit earthy, sea fish is a million times better. I live in the Balkans and rarely eat fish.
Interesting, did not know this was a thing! I really liked it 🤷♂️😀
In Shkodra, they cook it with sour plums so no earthy taste left :)
✝️🇦🇱☦️❤️shkoder❤️
Beautiful city ♥️
why not just upload at 360p
👋🏻
❤️❤️❤️
Western Macedonia is Ilirida aka albanian land it is independence movement like Kosovo
We saw a lot of political graffiti from what we guess was this movement
@@MattandJulia yes it’s called Ilirida
@@Albanian_History everyone on balkans wants Macedonia !! Bulgarians say "macedonia is western bulgaria", greeks say " macedonia is greek land", serbians say " macedonia is southern serbija", albanians say " western masedonija is ilirida / albanian land"......Shame for all of you !!
@@maredodevska3214 well it is ilirida western part is Albanian y’all just took our land we are majority in the west and the east Bulgarians are majority and those are our ancient lands
Maybe some English people like it n some of them not ☺️👍
Exactly, I did 😉
I was born & raised in Shkoder, Albania.
I defected from communist regime! I love Albania & Albanian people but not the corrupted kleptocrats!
casual r8 lmao
Carp was horrid last time I had it. Tasted like mud
