[Prespa Lake, North Macedonia] Let’s start. Just 7km from here to Albania is the border. Cross the border , go around it, and enter Lake Ohrid again. The weather has really warmed up a lot, so I think it’s going to warm up a bit now. There wasn’t a single person and I enjoyed it all by myself. Once

You get over this hill, you’re already in Albania, right ? I can see the border gate right in front of you. I’ll go through immigration and go through immigration. I really liked North Macedonia. I think I was there for a little over two weeks. I stayed there for a very long time. I

Successfully entered Albania, the 19th country. There was nothing special about the inspection. Finally, I’m in Albania , almost 400km away . I’m back. It’s very chilly here when I cross Albania. Cows welcome me, but as soon as I cross the border, I’m at Prespa National Park. I don’t think I’ll go down…?

I think I’ll go up and down, but the course is easier than yesterday, so I think I can go a little further. From here, there are about 200km left to Tirana, the capital of Albania (this is also Lake Prespa). It’s connected to the lake where I stayed yesterday. The side connected like this

Is narrow, so it looks like another isolated lake. Now that I’m in Albania, I see a lot of donkeys, right? Once you leave Prespa National Park, the course from there to the capital of Tirana is very relaxed. As it continues towards the Mediterranean, the sea level drops all the way. It’s really cool… (From here), you only have to go up 3km. The uphill is 3km. It’s short, but the average slope is very high… Oh, the slope is so steep that it’s raining. Wow… It’s so cool~ Ah~ Is this a place like an observatory? Goodbye! Prespa I’m going back to Lake Ohrid. Wow ! I was surprised. Ah, what is it? A plain is spreading out?! I kept thinking it was a mountain valley, so I was dazed while riding, but suddenly haha, I was surprised when a plain spread out.

I think it felt similar to the (desert wasteland) plain I saw after crossing the Atlas (Morocco). But the easy version. Ah, it’s really cool.. . Prespa National Park ends from above. You don’t need to go fast to take the shortest route around here. You can’t go there. In fact,

There are so many beautiful places gathered in this area, so you have to take your time and enjoy it. Anyway, there is no visa time for the Balkans. There are a lot of them, so there’s no need to go fast. I always drive while looking at the mountains, but it feels like it’s

Been a really long time since I’ve seen a plain like this. I’m going to turn right. It’s been a while since I ‘ve seen weather like this. It’s pouring rain up ahead, but it ‘s sunny here. Is it spring? Is it finally spring?

Why did it get so bright when I came to the other side of Prespa National Park? ( Taste to die ) Let’s take a break and go . We’ve looked around all of this . That’s Prespa National Park. I think that’s Galicica, and now it joins the main national road. If you take the national road in front of there and go a little further, you’ll see Lake Ohrid again If you cross that, you will enter (Ohrid). I was hungry , so I left today and came back without even going to a slightly larger village. I went back after crossing the huge Galicica Mountains that can be seen in front of me This time, this is the view of Ohrid from Albania. Yesterday, if you crossed the border right from the monastery, you could have reached the city in 10km, but you have returned 100km. It was 900m above sea level, and now going back towards the lake,

It is about 300m away . The level is dropping. Let’s go into that city, eat some food, get some supplies, take a big rest, and go camping in front of Lake Ohrid today. Before we leave to find somewhere , this is the city of Pogradec (Ohrid

As seen from the lake city in Albania ) Lead) I found it by accident Well done~ It’s the same here, but (village) Ohrid is a little prettier Let’s take out some cash. Since I can’t use a credit card (Albania’s currency unit is lek. 100 lek equals about 1 euro (1,400 won)), the fee is cheaper here, but the fee is almost 11,000 won… I went crazy What’s delicious? Please give me the Giros on the plate! / (ㅇㅋ) (Berry Good) / 5K (Would you like a glass?) / No haha ​​(To reduce the amount of washing up haha) Albanian currency is It looks like this (Order one more lol) ( The owner is surprised to hear that you came on a bicycle) Palimender (in Albanian) Thank you) It’s a large supermarket, but this is the first time I’ve found a place that doesn’t accept credit cards;; I guess they really don’t use credit cards. It’s an Albanian bumper car! Can I buy just one onion? One onion and a strawberry. I almost forgot the water, I couldn’t resist and bought strawberries… IGo, there’s a lot to do, there’s a lot to do; haha ​​I’ll really start now when I get into the city haha ​​I’m really into it . Let’s go out (Pogradec, a village on Lake Ohrid, Albania). There’s no place that accepts cards?…

What? Should I save some cash? But now that I think about it, why are strawberries so cheap? You guys are doing this Hey!! 9mon, what the fuck did you say? Don’t act like this Are you friends? Jammin’s bastards If you go, you won’t be able to do anything, so you have to say something to those kids. I’m sorry for cursing you haha;; Is there a bicycle path near Lake Ohrid in Albania? Hello No, Korea South Korea! Bed wetting, I’m going to the capital, Tirana (Aha, I’m going to Tirana on a bicycle) Thank you haha, what’s your name? Mario! Mario Nice to meet you. My name is Jin Oh, you live in the United States? By the way, you are Albanian, right? Like this, there are good people and bad people in the world , but the moment I hear the sound of China, haha ​​(I’ve heard it countless times while traveling. (I burst out in anger at the racial discrimination I was subjected to) These assholes are provoking me?! Haha Most of the time, they will just overlook it like an angel, but since I’m going there myself, they can’t criticize me, right? (Seriously ON) They’ll run away, right? Albania owns the west side of Ohrid, and oh, they’ve done a good job with the bike path Ah; Is there water coming out here? I bought water for no reason earlier… It’s actually better I’ve dug up almost all the lakes around here. I think ‘digged up’ is the right word. It feels like I’ve been drawing from yesterday and today. The lakeside . So, there is a train track built, but it doesn’t seem to be used. Oh, it’s a rainbow! Do you see the rainbow? The rainbow

Is getting clearer?? It must have been pouring rain on the other side. Today is the last day at Lake Ohrid, and on the last day, I saw a rainbow (the jammins ruined what was supposed to be a perfect day haha). This time, there is a rainbow tail on the other side?

It seems like it rains a lot in North Macedonia. To be honest, you can pitch your tent (tent) right in front of the lake, but the road is too close. The cars are noisy, so you have to get off the road a little bit, so you can camp in peace. If

You go all the way up like this, we can cover almost 95% of the lake. I won it. I made another rainbow. It’s a rainbow party today. It’s going really well here. Is it a swimming pool? It’s raining over there haha

​​(Ohrid, a city in North Macedonia, looks like a dot in the distance) Hello haha ​​(Common road blockage issue: cow) No, I looked back and it was so clear? Wow, another (rain)rain. I see the rainbow without the circle today? What’s going on? Wow~ It’s so clear Oh, there’s a campsite here. It’s been so long since I went to a campsite. I went to a lot of campsites in the early and middle part of my trip, but these days I don’t even look for campsites; My dog ​​and my hanging shadow (There was a camping car bivouaced) I went inside because of the resort. I have to hide and do it~ Someone made a fire here too . I think it would be okay if I go a little further inside. It’s a cave. I can spread it out on the gravel. I’ll do it here.

I ‘ll set up a tent in a place where I can see all the roads I took at a glance. I’ll have to restore it on the last day . (City) After crossing from Ohrid to Galicica and coming to Prespa, there’s today’s city fog. The road I followed from Radec (Pogradec)

Lake Ohrid seems a little cold. It’s really cold. It’s twice as cold as yesterday’s (Lake Prespa) water temperature I rode 90km yesterday. I slept in front of Lake Prespa, crossed over to Albania, the 19th country, and came back here to Lake Ohrid. I will finish here. ( Boasting body gag) Jjajang Sausage Rice Bowl I’m going to eat it I’ll eat it well. Ah… it tastes like heaven. Both camping sites yesterday and today are spectacular . It’s raining at an all-time high so we evacuate inside. ( Earlier ) The rain that was falling on the other side rushed here. It was a pebble field, so… it hurt so much The weather is amazing I’m almost a natural at this level… haha. The water is so clear I’ll have some coffee and go to Elbasan, a big city before going to the capital. I ‘ve booked a hotel there. Let’s go I think this is the best day I’ve had in Ohrid so far. There were no guests at such a great resort, so the guests were able to heal themselves in nature for two days haha.

When I soaked in the water in the morning, I woke up right away and oh, it’s so good. It’s the best day ever, every day. I’m in the process of updating the level. They say it’s so good every time. But how can they do something so good?

If it were our country, it would have really exploded . Since the population is definitely low from now on, the population here (Albania) is less than 3 million haha. It feels so crowded no matter where you go. I think it’s best not to climb.

Now, if you go over the hill on the overpass you see, it’s mostly downhill to Mt. Elbas. The capital Tirana is 121km. Mt. Elbas is 67km. It’s one of the places I really want to come back to. Save! I’m finally going, bye bye. You shouldn’t go this way Hi!! Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve seen you bike traveler? Where are you from? I’m from Korea. Nice to meet you I’m traveling to a European country and started from London. I’ve been on it for over a year now Yes haha ​​where is your destination today? Let’s ride together (let’s ride up a bit and talk again) / Okay, yeah ~ Let’s ride together haha ​​(Sweet checking my pace) What’s your name? It’s Jinwoo . Nice to meet you. Wow~ Look at the scenery This uphill… I think it’s a little over 5km . It’s a pretty long climb. If I get over this, I’ll go down now Me too! ( They were very good cyclists) I have to go to the left Now this way. Are you going? I will go down there and go through Mt. Elbas to Tirana (I rode 180km yesterday) / 180km?? ? Do you usually ride more than 100km on average? / (Yes) I’ve never ridden like that. My best record with luggage is 140km The bike + basic luggage + water + food all together weighs about 60 kg Anyway, it was so nice to meet you Have a safe trip / (You too!) It was so much fun riding uphill together. Wow… We ride 150km a day; That’s awesome. I’m going to go all the way down now. Hey, look at this (what Albania looks like). It’s so pretty. It’s so fun. We’re finally starting to see cyclists. The weather has improved, so it’s the start of the season, so everyone is starting to come out. I did it . Wow, I really climbed a lot. But there are still a lot of mountains to climb. As I go up, there are more cars. Now

There is really no end to the bottom. There is a road built along the river here too . I keep going along the river. There is also a train road. Why are there so many cyclists in Albania? There are two cyclists in front of me, so I’ll follow them (stomp on

Them) (approximately 60km/h) Hi~~ I’m from Korea , I’m from Korea / (Ah Korea Korea!) Ah, Turkiye Merhava! Kyunei Kore (Korea) Where are you going? Elbasan? (I’m on my way to Mt. Elbas) / Me too haha ​​(Right away, selfie) (What’s your name?) / Jin Nice to meet you. They say they’re also going to Mt. Elbas. So we decided to go together. Oh~ They are from Turkye! It’s been 5 days since the trip. I guess they came to tour the Balkan country. By bicycle This is funny haha ​​(You told me first that the speed would be slow) OMG… The roads are narrow and Albanian people are a bit tough to drive (driving styles are different in each country) I was taking a break and it started raining Let’s go! Dark clouds roll in in an instant and it rains. The weather is always like this in mountainous areas The rain has stopped . There are 24km left to Elbasan. Hey, it’s all about Mt. Elbasan inside here. … It’s a completely dark cloud, is this? The skies on the right and left are clearly different. I didn’t know it would be rainy today? There’s a thunderstorm and there are too many cars;

It doesn’t make any sense, right? What kind of day is it today? Why are all the cyclists in Albania? Haha, it’s really amazing. The weather is crazy. Why is this like this? It looks like it will continue to rain all the way to Mt. Elbas. I think I did a good job finding a place to stay. Today? Can you believe this is the same day?

Ah, when I go to the capital , I’ll have to get a mudguard again… Isn’t this a shower??? I didn’t wear a windbreaker because I thought there wouldn’t be much thunder and lightning, but it ‘s already late. There’s no use wearing it. I’m all wet and I’m going crazy! Haha You said you would give me coffee, so I will drink it and go. How old are you? I am Otuz! (30) I use an auxiliary battery . Auxiliary battery 3 I’m using a dog haha ​​/ (Oki) There must have been a truck accident over there . Traffic was starting to get really crowded. It was a good thing I stopped here Ah~ I had a good rest. The rain clouds have all gone away. Ah~ The sun is rising on the other side. Is it real now? Look at the weather later. Today is also fun. I met 7 cyclist travelers today ! (Best new record) Huh? Is Elbasan from here? At a glance, it looks like he’s carrying a sandbag behind that. It’s beautifully shaped. It’s plump . It was plump and heavy rain fell and it flooded. The river dropped to 200m above sea level After leaving this mountain valley, the city of Elbasan is now open It’s raining again Thank you! Mr. Dennis bought me a car. I took a rest to warm up for a very long time while avoiding the rain, and then we set off again. Now, after about 8km, we will arrive at the accommodation (He’s trying to give me medicine) You take cold medicine when your stomach hurts, right?! That’s enough!! Thank you haha. It’s really great… haha ​​(He says there’s still a lot of travel left and puts the medicine in his sleeve) Thank you so much!! Bye bye!!~ The weather is strange today, isn’t it? I thought it was a very big city, but it doesn’t feel like a big city. It feels like a small city. This is a busy area. I found the accommodation completely inside the center. This is the city of Elbasan.

The wall is built like this in the complete center of the city. I think this inside is the old town I rode 69km and arrived in the city of Elbasan. I’ll finish here . That’s it! We came here for a beer together In fact, this is gradually becoming my job So I started (So does that mean I also carry a laptop?) / Yes, so it’s a lot heavier haha;; So I usually enjoy nature and go camping and riding for 3-4 days, and then when I go back to the hotel, I stay in the hotel for about 3 days and usually do editing in a row and then leave again, so usually if I stay in the hotel for a long time,

It’s a work day. So, I’m always afraid of booking a noisy or partying hostel Most of the time?? Um… Rice haha ​​Because I’m Asian haha ​​(Do you think it’s better than pasta?) Yeah haha ​​Actually, I rarely eat pasta. When I go camping, I usually put rice on it, cook it with vegetables and sausages, add Korean sauce, mix it, and eat it. Either eat with me

Or eat instant ramen I hate it too haha ​​(when I wring out laundry, my forearms and hands hurt so much) I always try to film my entire trip, but this is a lot. There are too many of them, so it’s hard;; I hope you sleep well and have a safe trip. Thank you~ I feel like a neighbor haha
