Day 34 🇲🇰 The refreshing Matka Canyon


Monday August the 9th
Total distance driven: 6.151Km
Today’s distance: 211 Km in 3:38h
Walked distance: 9.2 Km

In the morning I took another walk through the old town of Skopje. Wonderful scenes!

As another hot day approached, I headed to a renowned and fabulous Canyon about 15 Kms / 10 miles from the city: Matka.

Once I got there, the road grew smaller and smaller. A guy selling fruit at the last parking spot told me to keep driving. This is the kind of path I was driving on:

Mmm, maybe it’s just a pedestrian walk?
Okaaay, let‘s go back 🤣

I parked and changed clothes to proceed on foot. This is what I saw:

Boah! 😃

I took a boat in the Canyon and enjoyed the fresh ride.

On the boat!

We had a stop at a cave

The captain asked me if I was Italian and began to speak in fluent Italian. He had worked in Rimini for 8 years and we had an interesting conversation.

Orhaid

A nice refreshing trip in a place I was curious to visit. It’s fascinating that it’s just 13 Kms away from Skopje.

The afternoon was dedicated to ride to Ohrid with its beautiful lake.

In the late afternoon I found the Camping Lake, enjoyed a beer and went for a swim!

Nice spot 👍
