Vergina Skopje

... Cyrllic language). The poor waitress did her best to help us, and in the end brought us 2 very delicious iced tea drinks. Not really what we were looking for on a cold damp afternoon, but it hit the spot.<br><br>Later in the evening it was time for dinner (we eat a lot, don't we?). Recommended in our guidebook was Dab Pivnica (Two Doors) which was actually 2 minutes from our hotel. The inside was cozy as the heat from the wood burning stove heated the space ...

... To my right was the Stone Bridge, one of the few truly old structures in Skopje and, to my left at the bottom of a street, stood the London Pub- the cross of St George flying proudly above it. An English pub. Brilliant. A lot of people think it's great being the first person from the British isles to visit somewhere, but being second is far better because the bloke who beat you to it has set up a pub by the time you arrive. I decided that, as ...

... really anything of good quality, but they still stopped and bought a few melons. - I guess we do things like that just because we do it as a tradition- so I can't ream on them for this, just its strange. The last stop before we finally made it to Skopje, was at Veleshko Ezero( Veles Lake). We stopped for a break and of course coffee. I kicked back with a cold glass of Pepsi!! Back home we unpacked, Marija started laundry and took showers ...

... tell me what was in it, but did not really taste bad- just an acquired taste. They told me that when a woman is breast feeding she drinks Boza, cause it helps to make her produce more milk. So they told me that when I finally get pregnant, call and they will send me some. I am not really sure about that! Home again, we just sat around and began to pack for our trip to Orhid. That is another blog!! Til then good nite.

... no one else on set speaks italian so no one can talk to him), but they fired him because they just cant afford two makeup people. I did get his room though (he was our 3rd roommate), and its huge. The room is almost as big as my house in austin. 18th: shot in a gym in a really rundown school. If i get around to editing the photos ill put some up. I do have this one photo. All of ...

... to come to Ohrid with me and see Macedonia's idyllic summer resort town. We'll see how idyllic it is in November... Skopje's Prague Factor: With its melange of churches and mosques, Skopje would do better to compete for "New Istanbul" if only it weren't so much smaller than that city. That said, I really liked Macedonia's capital, its vendor lined bridge and its labryinthine streets, and I think if you moved Prague south and eat, this is what you'd get. 65%.

... near Struga. What a lovely place and what a cool mother she has. Those old women are just...lovely and so sincere. But it is getting harder to understand the situation between Albanians and Macedonians here in elsewhere in Macedonia. When we came back from Radovista with my another collegue Anita, the van was full of Albanians and she said to me that we both are strangers there. That was true. I don't know how i would react regardless in which side i was. in any case it ...

... of them. :)But try to have a good attitude, what ever comes. By the way, I just heard that our centre is closed the whole January. :) Guess who will travel? And all the visitors are also welcome here? it is a pity that the lake doesn't freeze. :) In two weeks i will travel to Finland, to see the wedding of my Elina-sister. I'm looking forward to it. On the same trip i will pass by Hungary as well, even better. :) Lots of hugs and smiles to all of you, see yuo sooner or later Maria

... purpose of budget travelling, especially when they charge you a premium for the privelege. Having said that, I did manage to catch three back to back episodes of Dangermouse. What price can you put on seeing Dangermouse buying an enormous amount of space junk, collected in a crater in the moon by a brummie martian and pulling the tides dangerously out of synch, for Penfold's eyebrows?? Classic. Right, so that's the best thing about my time in Skopje. Seeing Dangermouse again.

... t want the rebels getting in the castle,or they would probably have nev** got them out! Our walk was paused only to collect fresh wat** from a mountain stream,which the mules also took from.More rebels had gradually joined our column,rising from hilltop sangars,and th**e was a sense of excitement as we neared our destination. "Ssshhh,...policia",commanded one man as we rounded the summit.Hard to believe as it was,th**e w**e apparently police positions ...
