BALKANS GALORE IN KOSOVO ADVENTURES

starting with a photo of a typical urban bus albeit not standard livery in Skopje, Macedonia on Monday this weekThessaloniki in Greece is the prime long haul train journey from Skopje station, the other shot is our 'train' of one carriage from the Kosovo border, the other two carriages will be picked up on return and locos exchanged
some typical scenery out of the train window and examples of the K For propaganda posters which are everywhere
the second town in Kosovo in Pec in the west and a couple of hours train ride from Prestina, a bit forlorn especially on a Sunday, very little movement at the bus station, a bus of Kosovo Trans.
the NOHAB diesels are world famous in rail circles, now around 50 years old they are only lightly loaded on the passenger services, as usual language doesn't always translate quite right but better than my Albanian
well this morning drying myself after shower my back went yet again, nothing too bad but great care required this weekend as its the Heaton Park, Manchester rally on Sunday, we hope to see many of you there, let us know if you enjoy the blog. I had a go at Facebook last night, my first go on it for about a year, can;'t really see the point of it though with emails and blogs etc. I finished the pictures on the second NSW archive, just sound to add.
