Up early this morning for a run along part of the Mother Theresa Way.
Mother Theresa was born in Skopje and there is a museum dedicated to her life and work. It is the most surprising shape with a giant baseball bat holding up one corner and a church on the top floor.
Then we caught a bus for a three hour journey to Lake Ohrid. This is also in North Macedonia, but is almost on the border with Albania.
I was excited because Darren had booked us a really nice hotel room, as it has to be said that some of the accommodation on this trip has been 'challenging'.
Unfortunately after climbing to the top of a very steep hill, it turned out that they had not processed our booking properly, so we got our money back and trudged back down again.
It all got sorted out in the end and we are now in a different hotel with good views of a roundabout.
Setting off to explore we climbed right to the top of the highest hill to see a fortress and the beautiful North Macedonian flag.
It seems to be a bright yellow sun with sunbeams on a cherry red background.
However, the best discovery was the 13th century Church of St John on a rocky outcrop by the lake.
All around it was fantastic views of the lake and this was my favourite.
Just don't try and open the gate as there is a huge drop on the other side.
