D45 – 71.8Km<\/h4>\n

TUESDAY, JANUARY 31
OHRID (690m) – BITOLA (640m)
71.8 km – 9H22′<\/h5>\n
Macedonia is a mountainous country.  Serge is rather fed up after passing two 1200 meter cols at the top of this long, very long climb.  Especially because he makes it a point of honnor to arrive before nightfall, to avoid the stress he has felt since the beginning on roads with such heavy traffic.<\/p>\n

We are still in the same time zone as France, the only difference being : sunrise is at 6H15 and night falls at 17H00.<\/p>\n

Christian has taken the wheel of the 4×4 and begins his role as feeder.  He is a bit lost because Eliane and Ren\u00e9 give specific feedings which follow a schedule and at the same time the rules aren’t too strict.  In short, it’s a job be learned under the attentive eye of Eliane.<\/p>\n

As for Fulvio, one would almost believe he speaks Macedonian.  At every stop he is able to converse with the locals who happen to be present: apple vendors, policemen, the grandmother who is doing her shopping; and he always has his camera in hand.<\/p>\n

The city of Bitola is full of snow and the day before yesterday the temperature was -20\u00b0C.  This evening is just a few degrees below freezing, bearable.  Tomorrow we will leave Macedonia for Greece.  Our adventure goes on. <\/p>\n
