Crossed into North Macedonia Wednesday last, straightforward border but 55 Euro each for bike insurance!

Roads and landscapes have been fantastic, my favourite so far. Stayed in Bitola and visited the ruins at Heraclea

Down the shore of lake Prespa then over Galichica pass to lake Ohrid.

the monastery at St Naum. Stayed in Ohrid for a couple of days before heading on to Albania. Another straightforward border (15 euro this time) 

Albania has been, err, interesting. Rules of the road seem to be non existent and the GPS is constantly lost. Got to the hotel in Berat and the "secure parking" is in the vegetable store, up a couple of stone steps a(interesting with a fully loaded bike) next to a pile of watermelons
