Day 18: Bulqize to Skopje

Riding out of Bulqize I left the fierce Albanian mountains and continued into Macedonia, climbing through the morning before descending down towards Skopje. Skopje is pretty small, within a couple of miles of my destination in the city centre I was still in the countryside watching some kids playing in the road with a dead snake they had found.

​Skopje was quiet on a Monday night, so I chatted to the barman about life in London and Skopje.
