Day 1 in Mavrovo

Arrived in Mavrovo, which is 1.5 hours away from Skopje, a well known ski-resort. Unfortunately, the roads to accommodate all the cars were not up-to-date. There was a lot of driving backwards to let the incoming traffic pass and at one point, I had to drive the entire bridge’s length backward to let a tour bus get through.

And then there was our hotel. The door to our room didn’t lock. As in yes the door didn’t lock. It didn’t even close. The staffs didn’t care and charged us 100 euro for the room. I’ll post a short video of our hotel door situation in the next blog. But we did have a great view (see photos from the previous blog) and the room was well decorated and cozy.

Anyway, after dealing the door, and getting bounced around several restaurants because they were all reserved, we stumbled into a mom-and-pop pub. And boy, was the food really good. I had one of the best beef knee stew and schnitzel in my life!
