After about two and a half years of long-term travel, the authors compared laundry in self-service laundries, campsite machines, laundry services and hand washing. They washed roughly every three to four weeks, preferring self-service laundries for their large drums, multiple machines and dryers. Drawbacks included different payment systems, time and seasonal closures of laundries and campsites. In Albania, at a campsite in Berat, they paid 28 euros for a pitch, three washing machines, a dryer and a litre of olive oil.
