Now in Ohrid, Maceconia having a day off. This is a lakeside town that has a stunning old city and is far from being horrid. We are staying in a rented room in a guys house. He rode allongside us on his push bike as we passed slowly through the town so we rewarded his cycling fitness by staying in his house for 2 nights. Aren't we thoughtful. Nothing to do with the fact that we were tired, hungry, cold and angry that we were charged 50 Euros apeice for green card insurance for our 3 days stay. It was only 2 days but we were determined to get value out of the insurance. Since leaving Mostar we have been to Dubrovnic and its stunning Old City as can be seen from the photo. The bike is running well 'touch wood' and tonight she has an evening under the stars since we are camping. Staying in guest houses is so cheap that it seems non sensical to camp. It is the unpacking and packing of the bike that puts me off. From there we passed into Montenegro and then Albania which is the fly tipping centre of the universe. The road from Montenegro to Albania was terrible and though we expect very poor roads on this trip we thought that we would get off the European Continent first. Tomorrow we enter Greece and it is hopefully 3 days until Istanbul. As you can tell I have not got the idea of the layout. The first three photos are Dubrovnic the fourth is Ohrid and the last Albania. I tried some motorcross jumping between a couple of buildings but was not wearing the braces on my trousers. Lost my trousers again!!!
