Good walk











After lunch in cafe – (during which the was a short but very heavy downpour of rain) we went for a good walk through Gjakove and then through fields up a hill overlooking the town. There are very occasionally landmines found but the area where we walked was safe. At the top of the hill there were war graves of those murdered in Gjakove and a big board showing their names. There is a part of the graveyard ready for more burials in due course. After the rain shower the weather has turned quite hot and we enjoyed a drink at a cafe on top of the hill sharing jokes with our hosts overlooking some spectacular scenery.

Church service

We gave a short greeting to the congregation. Most of the service was translated (exept the prayers usually) and a lot of the songs we sung in both languages – we knew quite a few of the songs already
