Good-bye to Kosovo: 3/2/11


I can't believe that my time in Kosovo passed so quickly. It was good to see so many friends and former students. I leave Kosovo looking for pathways that will take me back because I do not believe I am finished with Kosovo yet.

I left Kosovo via the southern border on the Pristina-Skopje road at Hani i Elezit (where the Kosovar border guard made sure to give my passport and extra clear exit stamp). As the crow flies, the distance between Prizren and Skopje is 40-ish miles. However, the drive Skopje from Prizren is circuitous and takes around three hours (and that's going through Ferizaj and not through Sterpce which may cut about an hour off the drive, but the road goes through the Sharri Mountains and was snowy).

The Restaurant & Pizzeria Park-U, which is a few minutes outside of Ferizaj on the main Pristina-Skopje road, made a really good farewell macchiato. Plus, the bathrooms were very clean and well-stocked.

Next destination: A night in Skopje then of to Copenhagen!
