2019-01-19 Day 130 Sat

Still drizzling. We left about 9:15 and headed towards Kosovo. The orange road was quite windy and slow then we turned onto a yellow one. Very windy slow and rough in patches. The first half of the day was good we had some visibility then it closed in.  Most of the day was spent in the mountains in snow between 700-900m altitude. 






There were a lot of these webs on the pine trees.



















The donkey was patiently awaiting his owner.



















I think it would have been a gorgeous drive had we had visibility.







 

Stopped for lunch above the lake about 14:00 where I booked into a hotel in Pristina for 21st and 22nd nights to celebrate our anniversary. 24 years!!

We decided to head for the border. The Albanian boarder control just waved us thru. At the Kosovo border I needed to buy a different 3rd party insurance  15€ for 15 days. 
 
A campsite was hard to find. We tried a hill top but the wet snow was discouraging. A few more km and full dark we ended up on a small road at a school. Road goes through the school grounds

A light was on but could not rouse anyone. A couple walked buy and I asked them he also tried to raise the security guard with no success, but they both said it was OK to stay here the night.

About 18:30 a car drove up yes the cops. I spoke to them they checked our papers made some phone calls said "unsafe". I said we feel safe so that was OK and they left giving us the emergency number 192 to ring.
