DAY 68 – GALICNIK
My new friends and I day tripped out to the nearly deserted town of Mavrovo. Economic realities have forced the people of this beautiful mountain village to move to the cities for work. Lunched at the Hotel Bistra which is a ski resort in the winter. Delicious.
Been eating a lot of feta cheese made from, wait for it, sheep. Yep they milk sheep here. Weird. The locals seemed surprised that we didn’t milk some of the 40 million sheep in NZ. I told them we already get enough shit from the Aussies about shagging sheep. If we started touching their teats there is no way it wouldn’t get called ‘foreplay’.
Saw two local bands as part of a peace promotion run by a local radio station. Both bands were excellent and I even ended up at an after party. Strangely it felt more like a quiet house party than an after party as it wasn’t full of desperate groupies and class A drugs.
