The (Virtual) Peripatetic Pensioner - Stage 93 of the "Tour de Rellies" - Skopje to Kochani




 Once again, I've had to select walking routes as bicycle routes appear to be unavailable in Kosovo and North Macedonia.  Street View did not work for my ride today until I reached Skopje. Images were sought through Google Searches and in Google Maps. 

134 km - 104 km = 30 km (banked)



1.  Jordan Hadzikonstantinov - Dzinot, Skopje


2.  Lazar Lichenoski, Skopje


3.  Boulevard Goce Delchev, Skopje with the North Macedonian Courts to the right


4.  Just out of Skopje the road dwindles to a path, soon after even main roads are not shown in Street View.


5.   Street View works again for the lmain A4 Highway -- until I turn off a short distance along it.


6.  Back on Street View, the A3 approaching Kochani



7.  Hotel Leder, my virtual stay in Kochani
