Day 9

No photos today.  Spent whole day on bikes riding through greece to macadonia.  Weve done about 2,000 miles so far. Went from 34 degrees sun to thunder storms.  Getting through macadonia border was no problem once I flashed 50 euros at the none english speaking border control lady. 

Greek bikers seem to think number plates are optional.   They either dont have them or duck tape them. They are then able to drive through all the tolls without paying and speed past the speed cameras. 

Bulgaria tomorrow.  Treated ourselves to a 5 star hotel tonight in centre of macadonia.  Partly because we were soaking wet from thunder storm and couldn't find anywhere else and partly because we wanted hot showers and the chance to dry our stuff out.

Day 6

Finished of montenegro via the stunning kotor. A long day of riding through the albania border (managed to buy a green card for 15 euro) only to be greeted by albanian beggers (young children).  Albanian roads suck. Pot holes, unfinished roads, crazy drivers. Pulled into an awsome hotel. We are the only guests.  30 euro per room.  Restaurants closed so the owner is coming over to make us some traditional albanian food. Greece tomorrow.
