Macedonia, not the Greek one but FYROM

Our Kosovar experience was great, and this morning we learned the cost; €49.5, including drinks ancd bottled water, a real bargain.

So to Pristina, where we gave up on finding tha airport, and thence into Macedonia, or FYROM, depending on your affiliations. What a racket. We need a visa (€35, only obtainable at the border, and insurance for each bike at €50, so €85 for a country we'll spend less than 2 hours crossing. Subsequently learned that you can get a "transit" pass, somewhat cheaper. "Transit" is the magic word apparently. Grumbles toself, places Mak on the list of places not to go to, ranking slightly ahead of Wales.

In the end we did get our money's worth. About 40km from the Greek border the road is blocked by a crash that has just happened. No scope to wriggle round, so we just quietly stew in our bike gear in the 35*heat..
