Balkan Blues

Spent a couple of days in Skopje last week. Was absolutely fabulous to be back in the Balkans. I have missed it for a while. The weather was also very warm and sunny so it was really nice to sit in a street café just enjoying being in a nice place.

Ok, Skopje might not be the most beautiful capitol in the worls, but on a sunny day sitting in one of the cafés or bars on the brink of Vardar is really nice.


A real Balkan party dress...

Of course I had to go to the market and get some spice and nuts.

WC at the Airport

Out travelling again I have been once again reflecting about something that have annoyed me many times. Airport-toilettes. At every airport you repeatedly get reminded on not to "leave your luggage unattended at any time". But every now and then you might have to visit the airport facilities and encounter small tiny toilette booths where the door open INWARDS!! Not only is the booth small, 50% is covered by the closette, then the door takes the remaining 50% when you open it. So how the hell squeese in there with your luggage?? No woman can have come up with that design!
