Arrived in Macedonia

---

After a long day of travelling, involving a very slow train, an enormous queue at Luton airport and then an unexplained delay to our flight, we made it to Ohrid airport. On the approach, we flew over the lake, getting a great view of the town of Ohrid. After finding that the only ATM at the airport didn't work (you can't buy Macedonian currency abroad) we managed to get into town by paying twice the usual bus fare in euros!

We located our room, and were shown all its features by a nice elderly man who had waited past the usual check in time for us to arrive. There's a balcony with a lake view, although it was dark by the time we got here, so it'll be a nice surprise to see over the lake tomorrow morning! We headed out quickly to eat dinner, right by the lakeside, which was lovely - we had our favourite shopska salad (seemingly popular across the Balkans), pizza and a nice cold beer. As with Montenegro and Albania, prices here are relatively inexpensive.
