The castle has a very interesting entrance. Unquestionably, the views from this side of the castle are absolutely spectacular. Here you can see the capital, Tirana.

@dalethewhale is a fancy whale who likes to sail.

To your post sail he did
to leave you an upvote,
but now goodbye he must bid
and get on his sailboat.

He surely has more posts to read and much more work to do,
But he gets to do it on his sailboat, sipping on a brew,
so now he bids you adieu!
