We headed for the capital (Skopje), along highways which were excellent, surprisingly, and allowed us to travel at 120km/h … with the only issue being that they had toll-booths every 20km or so, which slowed everything right down (and makes accelerating to cruising speed a bit of waste of time) … this is what they call a user-pays-system.
Once in Skopje, we found a Hostel, which to our surprise wanted 43 Euro (about A$70) for dorm accommodation … which is just ridiculous for this part of the world (we paid A$50 in Afitos for a whole apartment), and since we were only few kms from the Serbian border, we decided to write-off Macedonia as a bit of a non-event, and head on …. Despite the country being quite spectacularly picturesque along the way to the capital, Skopje itself is just another busy (former Soviet block) city … with really not much to see (in our opinion).
