Day one: Veles

 

Exhausted and dehydrated but very happy.

I was dropped off at an exit from the motorway outside Veles and had to walk a long distance into town (Who knew Macedonia was a mountainous country?) to exchange money and call Iza as I had run out of credit very soon (a one minute call costs 5zł!).

This is where I got off the coach

 

I haven’t talked to anyone in English yet, instead, I’ve been relying on my broken Serbian and I’m surprised there was no major problem with understanding them or being understood.

I’m now sitting near Plavi Most in the town centre and waiting for Iza and Igor.

We then went to Ozero Mladost (Lake Youth) which looked nice if a bit dirty on the shore.

Later on, we went to a coffee shop and met my friend Vlado whom I’ve known for years but never met and a friend of Iza’s who turned out to be also a good friend of Vlado.
