Why the hell didn't I think of this:



Closed on a Sunday night in Bitola, Macedonia. ( There is another one in Skjopie )

On the other hand, a bust of Tito, also in Bitola.

Charles Kuonen Suspension Bridge - longest pedestrian bridge in the world. 500 m long and 85 m high - part of the Europaweg 2-day hike. We hiked up from Randa (20 minutes by cog wheel train from Zermatt) - a very steep 2-hour slog to the bridge - and back again.

It was a fine day, so we went to Albania for lunch.

We got told about a nice fish restaurant... no, not this one:




... this one:



View from my office at Pogradec, Albania, on the shores of Lake Ohrid. The mountain peak in the distance is about 2,600m



For lunch, I had a 'koran' ... a lake fish, much like a trout.

My office at Ohrid, Macedonia

Lake Ohrid:



St John the Theologian, a 13th century church on the lake



Typical architecture ... note the streetlight

After some lovely weather in England and Wales, we’ve had nothing but heavy rain throughout Scotland. Unfortunately that means low clouds obscuring the munros and hills. Hoping it clears tomorrow.

You learn something new every day. I would have bet money on Mother Teresa being born in Albania and when I looked her up it calls her an Albanian/Indian nun

Yes, a sore point with locals. She spoke Albanian, but was born and grew up in Skopje. There is a museum to her just behind the statue, with lots of pics and artifacts to 'prove' the point. Strange to see her as a young nun. She left Skopje when she was 18.
