Look, I understand if Croatiabus/Jadran Ekspress can't run a direct bus from Zagreb to Tirana, but gotta stop pretending it's direct and making me change twice, begging surly bus drivers for info in the process. Somewhere deep down I knew this, which is the whole reason I wanted to go via Italy and take a ferry in the first place.
Anyway at least the Balkan Adriatic coast is all gorgeous.
As my very last week in Skopje commences, I discovered (from the nice people at Vegan 365 Kitchen) that Violife is sold at Ramstore supermarkets in the 3 big malls (Skopje City Mall, Ramstore Mall, and another I forgot). Just in time for it to be too late for me to buy cheese, especially as I picked some up in Croatia last week.
Nothing has reinforced just how comfortable I got with Serbo-Croatian(-Bosno-Montenegrin) than coming to Albania and suddenly realising I have considerably less idea of what is going on around me.
The only countries worth being in are ones where you get straight lemon juice when you order lemonade, in my opinion.
