Now I had finally made it to Pristina after all the problems today trying to get here I wanted to explore some of the old town by my hotel. Since crossing the border we had been seeing lots of minarets everywhere and there were even more as we came into Pristina.

My hotel was a bit tricky to find but very modern, luxurious, and to a high standard. There are no hostels in Pristina as mostly international government employees have been based here for the countries reconstruction. I was also paying 35 euros which is my most expensive hotel this entire trip

The hotel is at the start of the old town and it was very easy to explore just following the minarets to each mosque. Again, aid money has been spent to restore the city's heritage and make the town more touristic.

I found the city museum which was to close in ten minutes. As they are closed Mondays and I leave on Tues they let me look around quickly, although it didn't need that long anyway.

They had Roman things as well as Byzantine style Christian art from some of the Serbian churches.

I was trying to find the Turkish baths and found another large Mosque that had been restored very well. It had a miniature of Istanbul above one of the arches.

I wanted to find food and there is a big pedestrian street leading away from the old town. I didn't want to go too far down as I was going to use this route tomorrow to get to the bus station for a day trip to Prizren.

Most things were shut for Sunday but a found a fast food place where I got a fried chicken pizza for 3 euros.

Finally I made it back to the hotel to enjoy some of the Albanian music which I came here to experience. This is different from Serbian turbo folk music and Bosnian sevdah music, and is much more Turkish sounding.

Albanians are much more Germanic looking unlike the people in Serbia I had just left behind.
