Crveni Grm
So were here, in Crveni Grm aka CG in Hercegovina right on the border with Croatia.
Its the 12th day of our trip and we have passed through Hungary, Serbia, Kosovo, Macedonia, Albania, Montenegro and Croatia. Now were officially in Bosnia i Hercegovina even though its a minute from the border and the people in this village mostly consider themselves croatian. Yesterday we were supposed to spend some time in Dubrovnik but we were too tired and got on the bus to come here directly instead, to Ollis family.
Things are sweet, I am doing my best to communicate with all of the relatives and remember the names.. haha thank god polish is close to croatian, otherwise I would have been totally lost..
Today were probably going to Medugorije, and then we have the Croatian Islands, Dubrovnik, Sarajevo, Makarska and other places to visit.. all of it is close by so its perfect.. but first this.. the lovely countryside, puppies, kids, sun and heaps of relaxation.
Pictures are on their way.. I promise!
Until then, another picture from Ohrid:

Hello Albania! We’re on our wa…
Whaaa!!
Macedonia!
So we went from Prishtina to Skopje.
We found the best hostel ever named hostel hostel, it was a house with a really nice garden, free soup and real breakfeast. And we got a great deal on the price as well as I was being stubborn as always.. haha.. Nice!
We walked around Skopje and spent the night. The next morning we rebooked our tickets to Ohrid and took a bus to Shutka. Shutka is a kind of a suburb to Skopje where there are only gypsies. We walked around and took heaps of pictures, it was really interesting and all the paranoia about pickpocketing kids was just fake rumours as always.
Later we took the 4 hour bus to beautiful Ohrid. We kind of accidently found the greatest and cheapest apartment ever right next to the main square and the lake. 24euro/night. And the best streetfood three minutes away. Let’s do this budget-style!
Ohid is a really beautiful place, it’s filled with people, the water is clear, the weather is perfect.. things are good!
Too bad these computers are so slow.. I dont think I will be able to upload pictures before getting home.. I’m struggling with the “backup to USB”-part enough.. However, I can ensure you that you have great ones to look forward to!
So yeah, we’re probably staying here for three nights.. then we’re off to Albania!
ciaociao!
