INTO KOSOVO ILLEGALLY DAY 267 167km.

Left Rasak and went up to a ski resort which is the highest point in Serbia almost 8000ft. Then found a dirt road into Kosovo and as I came up over a rises there were maybe twenty US soldiers to welcome me.

I stopped to enquire what the deal was, and they were 10ft inside the Kosovo border, which has no border post and you are not allowed to enter there but they didn't care. 

    My fellow countrymen welcoming me into Kosovo.

Continued on down the pass into a small village where there were more troops guarding a government office, I guess there has been a few clashes recently, Serbia and Kosovans have each other.

Crusty Cripps from NZ recommended the Soho Hotel in Pristina so found it and it is a gem and the owner is a bit of a character so decided to stay even although it was only noon, my orinal thought was to push on but afret meeting the owner I decided to stay and glad I did. (€20)  

Walked downtown but nothing really here to see or do and I think North Macedonia is the same but have to go through here to get to where I am going.
