We left Istanbul early, we had a long riding day in front of us. Another sunny day and the forecast is for a hot day too.
Istanbul was quickly left behind us and 200 km later we were at the Greece border where we "cleared" an incredibly long queue of lorries waiting to cross the border we were crossing it in half a hour.
Good roads in Greece too allowing us to keep a good speed, the only problem being the lack of Petrol stations.
At lunch time we stopped in a small town on the sea, plenty of tourist around and the beach was full, pity we did not have time for a swim.
We kept going riding along the Greek coast all afternoon and it was really hot, 35 degrees, finally we were in Macedonia and we arrived in Skopje at 18.00 hr.
In the evening we went visiting around town and we were impressed by the number of new monuments erected in memory of Alexander and other local important historical people. There are quite a few new buildings in town , flood lit at night.
Dinner in the old bazar with a real kebab.
Tomorrow destination is Split in Croatia, the forecast calls for a risk of rain.
Today we made 870 km for a total of 4997 since the start of our trip back home.

Excellent job guys. I see you had a good rest in Turkey. Macedonia looks like a nice place to visit. I will put it in my agenda for next year. Continue safely and more grease to your knees and elbows, and to Lorenzo's back... :).
