A first glance at Vietnam.

On the bus again. Pristina to Skopje to Ohrid.

I know, shocking that Susan and I would be taking a multiple hour bus ride to some place few people have been to, but here we go {again}.

To Lake Ohrid--the deepest lake in the Balkans, one of the oldest lakes on Earth, and a brand new place for both of us.

After almost being stalked by a little boy {sorry this story is reserved for in person time}, we settled into our seats, opened some beers, and chatted our way to Southern Macedonia changing busses 1 time, using a squat toilet 0 times, and eating Burek 3 times.   

To Prizren in Luxury.

So, it turns out that if you take a bus from Pristina, Kosovo to Prizren, your ticket just may include a freshly made cup of coffee.

, 

Which seemed a little random {because when is there ever an espresso machine on a bus}, but totally awesome because we had really wanted another cup of coffee that morning!

From Pristina to Skopje. Bus Style.

We bussed it to Skopje. Travel by coach to Macedonia is very easy and very cheap from Prishtina. It is also very, very long.

Here's the breakdown:

5.50 euro 1 way.

8.50 euro roundtrip. If you buy the roundtrip ticket, keep in mind it limits your travel time options because you must book with the same bus company. If you want more flexibility, pay the price!

The trip took 3 hours and 10 minutes. {Keep in mind, it is a 65 mile trip ... so the bus is not the fastest but is the easiest and the cheapest.}
