Welcome to Kosovo now some might say it is in Serbia but dont go telling the Kosovans they wont like it. They have their own border controls own insurance which by the way only cost 15 Euro for 2 weeks and the office is right their at the border so no dramas and became the 195th independant country in 2008 according to the UN.

The border control guys are really welcoming a nice first impression into Kosovo. Oh by the way on the way out of Montenegro there was a border post with no Albanian border control and same here no Albanian exit border control just the the Kosovan side so not sure if you need to buy any insurance for Albania, I guess at 13 dollars for a month its hardly going to break the bank and you never know it might come in handy, ahahahah on second thought as if an insurance company in Albania are going to help you if you have a prang that if they even exist, im pretty sure it would be better to get up and hightail it out of the country as fast as you can. Trust me they want know if you have come or gone lol



Welcome to Prizren Kosovo

[rideforsmiles]

Something caught my eye maybe I was hungry looking at the horse with all thats been in the news lately.

[rideforsmiles]

The main centrum of Prizren Kosovo.

[rideforsmiles]

Plenty of these old buildings around town in Prizren.

[rideforsmiles]

Mmmmmmm Lunch

[rideforsmiles]

Almost to the fortress above Prizren.

[rideforsmiles]

The road up to the fortress overlooking Prizren.

[rideforsmiles]

The view from the fortress looking back over Prizren.

[rideforsmiles]

The view of tomorrows motorcycle ride into the hills away from Prizren, looks inviting.

[rideforsmiles]

The fortress dates back to the Romans and has had a few tenants, the Otterman Empire amoung others.

[rideforsmiles]

This is one of the old entrances to the back side of the fortress.

An allusive picture of the Wicked Witch from the West about to mount her broomstick.

[rideforsmiles]

I wonder what will happen if I touch these power pole wires, probably not ideal to let the littlens run around unattended here in Prizren

[rideforsmiles]

Just a few more of the homes the Orthodox Serbs were run out of or killed in around June July Ausgust 1999

It was time to leave Kosovo after such a short stay. The guy who walks the streets saw me packing the bike up and came over for a chat, id bought him a drink and some food everytime I had bought myself some so even though we couldnt communicate as such it was all good, well he cant talk for whatever reason but makes sounds and gestures he gave me a had a nice big hug you know they always appreciate when you take the time to have a chat and socialize with them whichever part of the world you are.
