Purrenik - a quick and satisfying meal that was easily better than my lunch in Kosovo...
When we get together with a certain friend, travel can get a little out of hand. Just being in one place isn't enough, we have to try see and do everything - including random road-trips across borders. And that is how we ended up in Pristina for a day. Crossing the border (a stressful experience - remember to register your arrival in North Macedonia!) in a tiny bus that takes at least 2 hours and drops you at a large bus station that's a bit of a trek to the city centre. We arrived on a day where the Kosovans and Germans were celebrating working together for a better Kosovo? And despite some areas that looked really run down, Pristina centre was lively, the people were friendly & it was easy to forget that only a few years before they were still at war with their northern neighbours.
The Challenge: purrenik - Because we sucked and after a long morning with a touch of stress & hangy-ness we ate "fake" maccas (KOLONAT?) and shamefully had no local food.
We were watching a movie once (can't remember what it was called) and we saw the fake Maccas logo from our day in Pristina, which of course meant we excitedly pointed/shouted at the TV. Pretty rubbish of us to be fair, but we went, we ate and we explored. We also managed to get back to our accommodation in Skopje, which was not guaranteed due to some confusion at the border... Anyway, Baby Leaps was able to look something up on the Google, and finally, (a few years later) we were able to try Kosovan food.
