April 2023. I’d like to try and convince you that Pristina is one of the best pub towns in the world but you wouldn’t believe me and you’re not going there for your summer holiday anyway. But if you do, head for the run of pubs hidden amongst the foliage below the street called UCK… Continue reading TOILET “HUMOUR” IN PRISTINA

Camus/Cactus/Zen air freshener mash-up. A Daytrip To Prizren.
April 2023. A few more holiday snaps, then I can return to those bench seats and boring brown bitters in grim Midlands towns you so love. Only time in our itinerary for one excursion from Pristina, but by common consent Kosovo’s second city Prizren is the must see outside the capital. Kosovo is about half… Continue reading Camus/Cactus/Zen air freshener mash-up. A Daytrip To Prizren.
At Kosovo’s national stadium, we’re outed as “Not Ultras”
April 2023. Picking maps to illustrate our foreign travels is always tricky, but this one might work for Kosovo. That reminds me; we still need to do Belgrade and Sofia. Bass recommendations for those places welcome. Pristina was a joy.

CRAFTY CAT CAFE, PRISTINA
March 2023. I didn’t know what to expect from Kosovo, but I wasn’t counting on crafty cat cafes in Pristina. Our apartment was just across the road from the main pedestrianised boulevard of Mother Teresa, between park and national stadium. The most obvious sight are the minarets of mosques in a largely Albanian Muslim, but… Continue reading CRAFTY CAT CAFE, PRISTINA
BILL CLINTON WELCOMES US TO PRISTINA
March 2023. Three days in North Macedonia, three in Kosovo. Just as Erling Haaland had more bookings than hat-tricks today, so we ticked more countries than GBG pubs last week. A 10am departure from Skopje bus station after double espressos and doughy snacks accompanied by the Sounds of 1976. I admit we were hoping for… Continue reading BILL CLINTON WELCOMES US TO PRISTINA
