Day 36 Pristina Kosovo to Bajram Curri Albania

The free walking tour of Pristina didn't start until 11am which was a bit late for us, plus the guide we had yesterday had put us off walking tours for a while so we found a self guided tour online and spent an hour or so checking out the major sites of Pristina. This included the new Mother Teresa church, and the library which has made the list of the 30 ugliest buildings in the world. 



Next stop after Pristina was Prizen, this time the major highway was new and in wonderful shape which was a pleasant surprise after the last few days of driving.

Prizen's old town is set delightfully on the river with lots of cute restaurants and we met up with some English guys that we had met on the walking tour in Skopje. 



We then drove onto Gjakova for a quick stop, then crossed the border back into Albania before reaching our final stop for the night at the very Indian sounding Bajram Curri. This area of Albania is high in the mountains with snow on the peaks and and an aquamarine river.
