Macedonia

I passed through Macedonia on a train from Milan to Athens. Beautiful scenery.

Skopje will no doubt be a stopover, although I’m much more looking forward to Lake Ohrid. Apparently there is also a monastery on a mountain in central Macedonia that you can hike to and then stay over night. Will do that, if possible.

I was there as a peacekeeper in 1993-1994. It was an interesting experience to say the least, and I’d love to go back to see how much it is changed.

I like Macedonia, but.. well, I have to visit it once again. To know it better.

Years ago, I went sailing on a Norwegian tall ship between France and Norway. On board I met quite a few people from the Balkan countries, including Macedonia. I’ve wanted to see this country since then.

want to see where Alexander the Great is coming from

Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

was last summer.. and I have a lot of family that lives in Skopje so i want to go back..

i went to Struga and Ohrid on Lake Ohrid.
didnt get a massive feel for the country as was only there a week. seemed quite western as i visited whilst living in Albania. it reminded me slightly of Bavaria big lake swimming in the summer, skiing in the winter. i stayed with a local family who were very nice, and taught English to some great kids.
would definitly go back

the picture for this place is a lot like a photo i have. how cool is that.

oh alexander the great how i love you.
