CompassChaos13 finishes their route on to Albania from Greece.

“I have tits, I’m not stupid!” Chaos is back and radiating "Fuck Around and Find Out" energy at the Albanian border. When Google Maps tries to drive them down a 13th-century staircase, a hotel staffer jumps in the backseat to save the day!

In this episode, Compass and Chaos audit the "Stone City" of Gjirokaster—from the Cold War relics to the best "restorant" in the bazaar. We’re navigating the vertical maze of Albania with a GPS stuck in 2016, dodging "Passport Purgatory," and experiencing a 3-hour Black Friday bottleneck you have to hear to believe.

Stick around for the "Marital Goals," a heartfelt reflection on Balkan hospitality, and Heather’s Pro-Vet Tips on international car rental "Green Cards," E-SIMs, and why you should never travel without a "Chain Hotel" buffer. Don’t cross the border until you hear this.
