Macedonia and the two lads
We were supposed to arrive in macedonia at 7am it didnt arrive til gone 9am, i was awake from 4 am as the sun was up that early. All i could see from the train was trees then the odd house with a cow in it, the locals must own a cow each!
We got off the train at the station and walked down to the front. Two lads where there so i asked if they were going to a hostel. We had already booked the hostel , turns out they haddent so they followed us to the hostel. It took a while to get there after some dodgy directions from a guy in a car, who had sent us to the hi hostel, which we got told was the local w****s hangout too... Ermmm nice?
We checked into the smallest room going but it was £10 a night each. The guy who run this place was very helpful and showed us where to go and eat. We got showered and changed and headed out with the lads to the city, we walked around another castle which they were still digging out and then we grabbed lunch at a little kebab shop. We ordered beers and they were less than a £1 each, the money was 75 dinars to our pound, it was a pain working things out but everything was dirt cheap so we didnt bother in the end.
We went back to the hostel and all of us crashed out, we intended to watch the football in town, we ended up watching it in the garden of the hostel, i caught the last 10 mintues of the game. We headed to the restaurant olympik that the guy had told us about it was £3.50 for a steak, copey and i had that and the guys got a pastramalia which was the local speciallity. It was a bread base with egg filling and meat of your choice, it looked good, we had a yellow brandy which was super strong we could only sip it, the guy had warned us not to drink too much of it or down it as the night would of got messy!
We went to the town centre and ended up at a bar where the waitress was not happy, she didnt smile or even pretend to like serving us, it must of been because we were english, we had an ice cream sundae each with a few beers, we joked that she had s*** in our ice creams coz she didnt like the english, the conversation tuurned worse when oe of the lads said "does anyone want my cream?" he didnt realise what he said till we all pissed ourselves laughing. We headed back to the hostel and hit the sack..
