In the army



The safest night on this trip so far was spent in Kosovo two days ago. When arriving to the village of Gračanica we discovered Swedish UN forces to be guarding the Serbian monastery. Hej! I said to the somewhat surprised soldier Sophia on patrol outside the monastery gates. We could park in their camp and sleep right next to the KFOR trucks surrounded by barbed wire, nuns, chickens and old tractors.
The Swedes invited us to join the barbecue later in the evening and we spent a very nice night drinking Peter’s Croatian Travarica, singing snapsvisor and exchanging Kosovo impressions. Thanks!! To all the nice soldiers, hope you see this. Mattias, let us know when you pass Croatia on your beautiful new bike.
Grill master and his student.
Breakfast by the barrack, and guided tour with heavy security.

Hej! Tack för att vi får följa med på era äventyr, både i text och bild. Roligt att du skriver så flitigt, Anna - och very nice, describing and varied pictures! In the mountains it seemed like paradise! Undrar lite över hur ni klarar värmen - 42 grader neråt Balkan, har vi hört... Det syns inte på bilderna. Ni ser hur fräscha ut som helst! Här är allt bra - men storm väntas i natt över Sydsverige. Much love from Bisse
