Couple of tips for those travelling to next weeks away leg....
You must register with the local police in the town/city where you are staying within 24 hours of your arrival in Macedonia, unless you are in a hotel in which case you will be registered automatically on checking-in.(make sure they do this....or its a hefty fine)
If you don’t register you may receive a fine of between 600 and 1,000 Euros, and be detained or face a court appearance (which may include a restriction on your ability to return to Macedonia).
YOU CANNOT EXCHANGE SCOTTISH OR NORTHERN IRISH BANKNOTES OVER THERE ,they will not accept them in banks,hotels, restaurants currency exchanges.
Take your EHIC CARD with you (E111)....there is a reciprocal agreement in place with Macedonia for emergencies/
heath treatment.
Take euros or us dollars in small denominations to exchange for MKD (Macedonian Denar)over there.
Enjoy the trip guys,I will be there from Saturday afternoon.
Staying at the IBIS city centre.
Look out for the NORTH DERBYSHIRE LOYAL flag and come and say hello,hello. and have a beer.
