Still in the train after Serbia i got to Macedonia. After heavy armed border controlls after Presevo Valley at Kumanovo i could continue towards Skopje and on to Geveglija on the border with Greece.

The closer to greece the drier it got.

The station of the city of Veles, one of the bigger cities in Macedonia but still a small village, the country is pretty rural.
