Dal Met Fu Skopje

... bridge had construction work being done around it, but was still quite pretty. <br><br>They had a honey festival going on and so there were about 30 stalls just selling different types of honey or things related to honey. They have two main types, light and dark. The light just tastes like normal honey and is made from meadow flowers. The dark is made from mountain bee's and has this weird after taste to it that makes it better (I think). <br><br>The Old Bazaar ...

... and kebabs which was pretty good and the old part of town is really nice. I have also decided to go to Greece as well. From Albania there is a boat that leaves to go to Corfu so I think I will head over there for a few days to chill on the beaches. Matt and Amber rave about it on their travel blog so I will just chill out there and do some snorklling on the beaches. Anyway tommorrow I am off to Ohrid to see a lake an old castle should be nice!

... its a room to stay. They are ALWAYS "right downtown". After they get the double no, they try offering advice or tourist info, which, if youve managed to put your foot down all this time, is easy to turn down. You really get the impression that communism was prevelant in Skopje. They have huge buildings, all identical, and all residential all downtown. They are really gawdy looking things, but im sure they serve their ...

... topraklarýndan çýkarak Bosna-Hersek topraklarýna giriliyor. Allahtan bu giriþ çýkýþlardaki kapýlarda pek zorlanýlmýyor. MOSTAR Nehir boyunca elli kilometre kadar sonra ama biz önce yol üzerindeki ilk Türk Köyünü daha sonra da Balagay tekkesini ziyaret ediyoruz. Mostar'ýn Blagay köyüne yakýn olduðu için Blagay tekkesi adýyla da bilinen bu Halveti tekkesinin 550 yýllýk bir tarihi varmýþ. Evliya Çelebi'nin de uðramadan geçmediði bu tekke Buna nehrinin kaynaðýnýn hemen yan ...

So, I hope everyone enjoyed their Labor Day weekend! I forgot about the holiday, but didn't do much around here these past couple days anyways.. just like the holiday weekend would have been. Well, last night Marija made me Jufki( noodles ) for dinner. It was good but I am a pasta person, so I don't know if that really counts, sorry Marija! I also tried Musaka for lunch, which had hamburger meat with potatoes, yumm. Musaka is supposed to have eggs on top, but ...

... in bacon and grilled.  Also a salad that is pretty much only tomatoes (quite tasty).  Had some more good wine.  All the wine here is amazing so far.  Heard of a place that gives massages for like 800 denars ( i think its 40 denars to the dollar or so) for 90 minutes.  Going tomorrow if i can. I dont think ill be doing this "by the day" thing much longer but ill try to write about interesting things.

... wasn't especially remarkable, although the atmosphere about it was very tranquil and relaxed. That's it for my visit through Macedonia then. I have to say that out of all the countries I've seen in the Balkans, this one is the least interesting and attractive as a destination. Ohrid is really about the only thing the country has going for it as a real tourism site. Everything else has been basically OK (or just blah and ugly, like ...

... in the way of everyone. The backpacks took up a lot of space, and so we put one of them in the closed in area with the moving floor, covering the joint between the two carriages. The canadians had stocked up on food, alcohol and cigarettes because it was so cheap in Serbia (a 2L plastic bottle of beer cost about $2) and they put that in there too. Up to now, our situation had been funny, the age and standards of the train and the no seat ...

... the four of us, our baggage, and a THREE HOUR TAXI RIDE back to Skopje. It was nice because it cut about an hour and a half off the time it takes a bus to make the trip and we didn't have to sit by any smelly Macedonians(well, except the one driving our taxi). We got to Skopje at 3pm and found out that there was no way to get up to Ljubljana, Slovenia(our next destination, or so we thought) so we were going to have to take a night ...

... re-taking the town.The crisis only subsided when a NATO mission called AFOR was sent in to restore ord**,and begin a reconstruction campaign.An amnesty was presented for weapons to be handed in,but many of the guns w**e instead re-directed to the north and smuggled into neighbouring Yugoslavia's Albanian dominated province of Kosovo. The KLA had until now been a small and almost unheard of resistance group,but by 1998 they had openly declared war on the S ...
