I met Mec the next morning at 10:30 at the massive Alexander the Great statue in the city center.
We sat down for breakfast at one of the cafes in the square and Mec talked to me about the city, how everything "historic" you see in the city center was actually built within the past two years, the recent political drama and government corruption, and all kinds of juicy governmental gossip that makes a breakfast enjoyable.
After breakfast we strolled between culturally important buildings and sat down in the old bazaar for some Turkish coffee.
Afterwards we visited the Kale Fortress, one of Skopje's actually historic structures.
There's a not bad view of Skopje from inside.
From the fortress we walked to the Bohemian Quarter and ate delicious Macedonian cuisine. We walked off our meal in Skopje City Park.
On the way back to the hostel we stopped to see the inside of the Macedonian Orthodox Church.
Thanks for the great day, Mec!
