Yesterday, I went on a walking tour of Pristina. This is what I was looking forward to all along. Pristina obviously isn't a Madrid, Prague or even a Sarajevo. This is the largest city of a country that has oficially only been recognized since 2008. ... Read more >

Yesterday was my first full day in Pristina. The day before, when I arrived here, the girl at the hostel gave me a photocopied map of the city, with various points of interest, restaurants, etc. The map sucked-since it was photocopied, the ... Read more >

Yesterday I slept until around 7:30 am, and went for a jog around town, and went back to my room at the hotel. I then had breakfast at the free buffet. And what a buffet it was! The serving tables had all types of cereal, eggs, an omelet station, ... Read more >

Yesterday I was thinking of staying in Berat for another day. In isn't that I loved Berat that much-it is a small village that while beautiful-isn't a big deal-and doesn't offer much to do other then for a few days. It sure wasn't the hostel I was staying ... Read more >

Yesterday I left Tirana for a different part of Albania-a town called Berat. I am not sure why I chose to come here, except that a guy in the van from Montenegro to Tirana said it was one of his favorite places-so I decided to check ... Read more >

Yesterday, the first thing I did was take a bus to the cable car that goes to a mountain that overlooks the city. Actually, I took the bus to the end of the line where a shuttle bus was supposed to pick me up to bring me to the cable car. ... Read more >

Yesterday was my first full day in Tirana Albania. Admittedly, nobody would come here and think this is the most beautiful city in Europe. The city basically has a bunch of low rise buildings and small monuments. Some buildings like the national ... Read more >

Yesterday was another full day here in Kotor, but unlike the previous day I stayed local. At first I went to the old town-I wanted to find out if a walking tour was going on. I asked about walking tours either-the person at the visitors information ... Read more >

Yesterday I took the bus from Herceg Novi to Kotor. It wasn't a long ride-only a little over an hour. Kotor is at the very end of the bay on the Adriatic, the place where the cruise ships docks-the ones I saw sail away when I was in Herceg Novi. ... Read more >

Yesterday was a busy day. I took a long tour starting at 9:30 am, which I visited a Dervish, or Muslim Monestary. The monestary was beauiful, in a brilliant setting set against a large rock wall and a stream. To enter, shoes had to be removed and a skirt ... Read more >
