We actually got out and took advantage of our 8:30 alarm this morning! The idea was to head down and go into BunkArt2 and hopefully, since it’s Thursday, avoid the weekend crowds.
But we started the morning at Sophie Caffe, with a couple of coffees and some pastries. We figured since it was Thursday, there wouldn’t be any tourists, so we took our time and chatted.
I keep saying “avoid the crowds” and I hope you get the foreshadowing.
By the time we did get around to Skanderbeg and BunkArt2, there actually WAS a crowd — mostly tour groups of various sources, including at least one British tour group and one Chinese tour group. I think if we had been a little more determined to get in right as they opened we would have avoided the rush, but ultimately it was enjoyable to just be out and about during the week, since it seems like some weeks just disappear and all I see is the grocery store and the pizza place.
After deciding to try BunkArt2 again in the middle of next week, we wandered down towards the castle, thinking we’d get coffee or lunch either in the castle or in Millennium Garden. We ultimately went back over by the Opera and had a spritz and a light lunch at Momento, watching Skanderbeg and the various tourist groups making their way across the square to their hurried destinations.
Grabbed coffee to take home at Sophie on the way back. Successful morning out achieved. Hopefully we’ll keep this up.
