Macedonia

Our guidance from the crew upon arrival in Skopje for where to go was a bit off, so it took a bit longer to get oriented, but we figured it out. There is lots of old architecture that's been given updates, which is a rather unusual and interesting look. Alexander the Great was a famous Macedonian and the is a large square dedicated to him. Everything from monuments to buildings to parks and sidewalks are completely riddled with paintball attacks in all colours imaginable, not just the usual graffiti. The amount of damage is actually quite shocking as you walk and drive through the city.

The drive through the mountains was also amazingly beautiful!

We were only in Macedonia for the night and stayed in a small town called Struga. The campground was on the shores of Lake Ohrid (one of Europe's oldest and deepest lakes, over 300 meters in some places) and put campsite was right on the water!Read more
