Macedonia Travel Plans

After months and months of nothing, the wheels on the Macedonia trip have finally been bolted onto the wagon and the trip is a definate go-er. Our travel details can be found on this page. But first, heres what we can expect from our journey....

Miss Macedonia 2007 hails from Skopje, by all reports she can't wait to meet the Innerleithen Tartan Army for a hot date at Mc Donalds - also in Skopje.

En-route to Skopje we will be visiting Sofia. You might wish to google image "Sofia". Interesting results with safe search switched off...

Here's some facts about Macedonia and Skopje shamelessly stolen from Wikipedia, so they must be true.
97.5% of Macedonians over the age of 10 are literate. Good to know.
At the last census Skopje had a population of 507,000 folk.
Skopje is a sister city of Bradford in England.
The only legal tender in Macedonia is the Macedonian "Denar" (MKD).
1 EUR = 61,50 MKD
Beer costs (roughly) 0.4-0.6 european cents! THATS under 50p a pint!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In bars/clubs will be about 80p tops!!!
