Having left most of the hills behind we have arrived in Greece. ETA to istanbul thrs.

After camping on top of a Ben Nevis equivalent and not being shot at during the night by any angry Macedonian farmers, we had a pretty nice 1390 metre descent to start the day. We had to dodge vicious-looking dogs, stray cows and tractors. Lots of donkeys pulling heavily-laden carts. Oh and George's "just show them who's boss and swipe them away" attitude got him stung by a wasp. It now looks like he's been in the ring with Lennox Lewis. And lost. Reaso...

from, Stramica. Camping on top of a hill the same height as ben nevis.

from, Macedonia. Have arrived in Macedonia. It seems that there is a lack of oxygen and now flora is worried about altitude sickness.

from, Blagoevgrad. We are camping 5km north of Blagoevgrad should enter macedonia tomorrow.
