Update 14/05/2013
Well, we leave lake Ohrid tomorrow after spending 2 days here. Its been superb (well, the first day it was raining, but today we went out on the lake and it was awesome.
Trip has had the odd disapointment. I realise how long the buses around here take. Since its a 3 stop trip, I didnt end up going to Kosovo, as it would have taken 6 hrs of our trip, and there just wasnt time.
Worse, when I got to lake Ohrid, I tried to charter a boat to the other side of the lake, so I could visit Albania. Turns out, its a big no-no, and practicaly as dangerious as trying to charter a boat from Maimi to Cuba.
Still, loads of great things to see, cheap beer, quality food, which Ill write about when I get home.
Update.
Well, I’ll write more about it when I get back, but in the meantime, just a quick post to say that I’ve arrived in Skopje, Macedonia in once piece.
I’ve visited the old town, the museum of Macedonian independance and eaten and drunk the local food (which is excellent).
Yesterday, we went hiking to mount Vodno, which overlooks the city, then walked about 10 miles, exploring the national park.
We’re leaving for lake Ohrid tomorrow for 2 nights, then 2 nights in a mountain hut near Bitola.
Near and far, the search for adventure continues…
