From From Aqtau

Kyustendil to Skopje, 1/2; 11th October

11th October

We were reluctant to leave Kyustendil after having such a relaxing time -- I was tempted to spend another day at the bath!

Leaving the town we were on quiet roads mainly, and climbed up a small pass to the border crossing. 

We crossed border without any issue, apart from having to ask the North Macedonian border guard to stamp our passports as he hadn't initially.

After an exhilarating downhill to a small town, we had lunch by the river.

We followed this old, quieter road for most of the day. In this image you can see two other roads -- the closest one is the current main road, the the further road is a new highway being built.

Nice quiet road with no traffic, as it's been superseded by the newer road
