Macedonia or more correctly The Former Yugoslav Republic of
Macedonia contributed one of the worlds greatest generals (the Greeks can't work
out exactly where he came from but he was called Alexander of Macedon which is
enough for me). Since then there is not a hell of a lot to say about the place.
When I paid my short visit to the place the most memorable thing
was that crossing the short bridge from Greece to Macedonia there were swarms of
midges, mosquitoes and flies only on the Macedonia side. How do the little
blighters know they aren't allowed over the border? Quite bizarre.
All I saw in Macedonia was fields and farms and it all smelled
like a farm and everyone looked like farmers, probably because they were. I
think greater exploration is necessary some day, I wonder if there is really
anything but farms in the country.
I don't think I took any pictures as a farm is a farm. If I
discover something I previously overlooked I'll post it here.

Sweden.
