In busy Skoder we stopped to buy some Burek. It is a flaky pie ( or sometimes a roll) filled with either meat or cheese. Within minutes there were gypsies next to us begging for money and as we walked away they sent a little girl after us who seemed to become glued to my bike until we decided to cross the road. The demanding and pushy manners of the gypsies we met is really annoying and fully supports their bad reputation. This is so unfortunate because those of them who seek to live a normal, honest lifestyle are faced with immense discrimination and distrust. We did not make the acquaintance with a well meaning gypsy but there must a some out there.
As we were eating our Burek in the city park, a bleeting sound attracted our attention. We noticed an older man who was pushing his clunky bike through the park and in the basked on the front sat an extremely uncomfortable goat, with her feet tied together, obviously fresh off the livestock market. Poor thing. But as sad as it looked it was in a way still one of the most comical sights I have ever seen.
