Macedonia

Skopje
A throw back to Turkey in Skopje's Bazaar district. Beers in a Tito inspired bar, Yugoslavia memorabilia adorning all the walls. The run down History Museum with clock stopped at 5:17 the time that the Skopje earthquake hit. The brilliant Macedonian flags. Mother Teresa's memorial, Skopje's favourite daughter.

Ohrid
Beautiful views of the lake from Sveti Trojan. Cobbled streets, numerous churches and not to mention Roman Theatre in the old town. Not having enough money to pay the supermarket bill. A hooker in the room next door from our impressive Hostel. A day trip to Sveti Naum on the Albanian border. More brilliant views of the lake looking back to Ohrid town.
