Day2 🇽🇰 part “Kosovo - Pristina”

Goodmorning!
We woke up in Skopje at 5:30 and headed off to the N.Macedonia - Kosovo border. When we got to the border we had to buy a small insurance for access to Kosovo, which cost 10€ for a 15 day stay (it’s a shame we had to pay the full amount even though we were staying for a few hours but anyway!). The temperature was 16 degrees and I was freezing in my shorts and tank top so I asked for Lampros’s jacket (the response was “do you reaaaaally need it?” cause how can I possibly be cold?). After the border control, we got on the motorway which has been funded by the EU. A fantastic road, very suitable for a journey with lovely views. Arriving in Pristina (the capital) we had searched for a parking near an athletic centre (remember that we don’t have any internet in non-EU countries) which was very easy to find and super cheap (1h = 0.50€). It was 7:15 in the morning and the town was mostly empty, plus it’s a Sunday morning which means it’s going to be rather “asleep”. We walked around, saw the “NEWBORN” monument that was made in 2008 symbolising the Independence Day of Kosovo, went to the main boulevard named after Mother Teressa, saw a few mosques and after passing the Skederbey monument a group of dogs started following us all around town. We walked, sat for a coffee and then went searching for a souvenir shop cause Lampros was desperately searching for a magnet - but nothing was open. We walked all around town again, until we decided to go back to the car cause we still had a long day ahead of us. At the last moment, we saw a small stand opening and bought a magnet - which made Lampros’s day cause he was very disappointed before. Arrived at the car, said goodbye to our fellow travellers (the dogs) and headed back to N.Macedonia so we can travel up to Nis and Belgrade!Read more
