Good morning from Tirana, Albania. Back after 12 years. This country has changed dramatically. The airport is new, really new, as is the road from the airport to downtown. We are currently at the hotel waiting for the health ministry to come pick us up. We look forward to a few good interviews including a visit to the PACT site at the Mother Teresa hospital.

The weather is grey and ominous. This will definitely mean indoor filming today unless I can find a really nice terrace with an overhang.

Travelling by air was ok. This was our first 'air' leg of the film. We were overweight (arghh). And the tripod had to be checked in after being wrapped in plastic. Not happy about that. I've asked Gilles to figure something out so that we can, at least, protect it.

Anne has been a great crew member as Gilles stayed back in France. He and Sophie went to Paris to secure their Peruvian visa. I'll be going in a couple of days.

That's it for now. Will probably revert with news of the filming later.
