a weekend in macedonia - july '06

Over the weekend Tani and I got away. We loaded up the motorcycle and the tent and headed to Macedonia. I wanted to check out a place called Mavrovo which supposedly has a decent ski resort. Turns out although its no Oregon or Colorado for the Balkans its brilliant and even better its only a couple hours away and will make for a great winter gettaway and allow me to do a little snowboarding on this side of the world. We camped one night along the lake in Mavrovo and then the following day we stopped along the Macedonian side of Lake Ohrid and camped one more night before reentering reality in Korce.
