Just checked my photo by the Albanian border sign – no signs of bullet marks but it does look brand spanking new.

Saw loads of them while I was there. Very weird place indeed. By the way, when you crossed the border to Macedonia, did you notice that the Albanian border post sign was absolutely riddled with bullet holes?

Thanks for the comments and for the fascinating link John. I never saw these, but it crossed my mind that the bunkers would make for a novel hotel – glad to see someone has already had the idea and put it into action!
