Post Script to trip: A few snaps fro my southern Balkans trip
After riding through freezing fog in Bulgaria I made it to slightly warmer, but wet Skopje, the capital of FYROM. Here I decided I couldn't be bother to freeze my nuts off pounding the pavement all the way to Germany as planned. I bought an airticket from Sofia for the following week and did a quick jaunt around FYROM, southern Albania and northern Greece before returning the bike to Doug's Motocamp in Bulgaria. Here it'll live to ride another day in this beautiful part of the world.

The sun finally appears.

Lake Ohrid

There's a road that links Lake Ohrid to its neigbour. Snow stops play.
