Hours before my planned departure on an overnight bus from
Pristina, Kosovo to Ulcinj, Montenegro was to leave, the proposition to get in
a van with a group of fellow hostel stayers, the hostel owners and a few locals
was raised. How can you go wrong with something like that!
You can’t! and we didn’t!
The evening started off just right! We all barely fit into
the van, but had plenty of snacks and beer.
We sped off, slower than most cars because the Van must have been 30
years old, and hoped we would make it, but knew if we didn’t it would still be
fun. Two pee stops, a few beers, a sun
set, and a couples hours later we made it!
The town was alive with music, people, and dancing. The
energy in the air was contagious, and the rain that released on us for a little
while had a minimal effect, other than cooling us down and helping us style our
hair.
Dancing continued into the wee hours of the morning, at
which point my memory, and the memory of many others may or may not have become a
little hazy. At any rate, we made it back to the hostel shortly before sunrise,
with a few good photos, a great experience, a few aching muscles, and heavy
eyes.
The extra night in Kosovo was well worth it. Thank you
spontaneity.
