Apple orchard
On the way to Bitola we stopped off at a family-run apple orchard called Spirit of Prespa, which also makes fruit liquors. The family were very welcoming, providing us with fresh juice, cakes and some of their potent fruit liquor, made from steeping rakija in sugar and berries for a month and then aging it. Drinks before lunchtime? Why not!

Relaxing at the historical village (pic by Cat)
Our border crossing from Kosovo was at a tiny little border stop, where there was only us and two girls on foot waiting to be processed. Unlike the other borders we’d passed, we didn’t have to queue, but we also had to get out of the van and be processed individually rather than having our passports processed without more than a glance inside the van to see that we were the correct number of people.
