Prizren, Kosovo

A wonderful lunch in a sparkling clean motorway services station, somewhat confounding our Albanian expectations..then through the dark mountains and friendly border guards (including an Italian police observer) to Kosovo, complicated and new as a state, the soul of old Serbia, 90% Albanian now, conflict not really resolved, recipient of international aid at scale judging by the excellent roads..Prizren, second city, pretty with mosques and empty Orthodox churches, raging river, old Ottoman quarter even in the rain and utter quiet of a local holiday..Meer informatie
