Cheers guys, I'll give it a proper look then.
O/T - Wiffmaster, when are you going to Macedonia? I've spotted a few cheap flights there and been considering it as a random destination for a few days away. What have you got planned whilst you are there?
Sorry, badly phrased on my part - I've just got back actually - went last weekend with a few mates and flew with Wizz Air (who were fine as it happens)O/T - Wiffmaster, when are you going to Macedonia?

It's a great place for a long weekend and isn't on the typical tourist radar. People are generally friendly and most can speak passable English. The capital (Skopje) has some lovely architecture and an interesting history, although nightlife is lacking compared to most other European destinations. From Skopje, you can easily hop on a bus to see Lake Ohrid or Matka Canyon, both of which are beautiful.
We also took a daytrip to Kosovo to have lunch. It's worth going just to look around for a few hours and to say that you've been to Kosovo. Pristina isn't what you'd call a pretty city (although their women are very, very pretty), but the people are very friendly and it's a good experience.

Glad you enjoyed it. I don't really do typical tourist destinations so I view that as a good thing... will have to read into it some more!It's a great place for a long weekend and isn't on the typical tourist radar.
