Expect the unexpected is my advice. I have had similar experience as Pan European. The disappearing road thing is quite something. I had this travelling on a "motorway grade" road toward the capital when it just stopped, there were buildings in front ! No road? Just a bank to the right which I had to ride down ending up in some rabbit warren back street with a one-way system, actually no-way system would be more accurate.
Pay attention beyond 100% and you will be fine. Fabulous place/people. I parked my bike outside a hotel next to a night club and the doorman from the nightclub said he will watch it for me. He did as well, all night!
In the capital watch out for oil in the road it was quite bad, so bad that in stop start traffic I rear ended a VW golf (ABS kicked in) The driver got out it was none other than Albania's 25yr old Mr universe-tallest-most-muscle-bound-iron-man bloke, I'm not 100% sure what he said by my wife suggested I ought to agree anyway,................ I kept just enough cash for 2 coffees. Better that than test the €12 border insurance. Anyway he didn't look as if paperwork was his thing really....
