Getting ready to embark on a short vacation and wanted to share the adventure with the wayalife family. More to come as the trip unfolds.
 
Looking forward to the adventures, definitely part of the world I will never get to see in person.
 
SilverBack ready to roll. Day 1 nearly underway.

Nice and cool to keep the senses alert. (This is Celsius)

Will load some photos and descriptions once I get to a more stable wifi. Let it be known that the first day of the road trip was an adventure, to say the least! Safe and sound in Sandanski, Bulgaria. Very interesting to be in a former soviet bloc nation again!
 
Day 1:
Left early and made it to the Macedonia boarder without incident, here are a few photos of Pristina to Southern Kosovo. I'll update with more when I'm back home.
Just outside of Pristina

Cool tunnel in Southern FYROM that has a open air valley in the middle. Neat tree growing out of the steam that runs through the valley.

We were less than 30km from the FYROM- Bulgaria boarder, so I'll post more photos tomorrow. Hope you all are enjoying the trip so far!

Welcome to the EU...
