Backpacking in North Macedonia: Travelling from Bitola to Prilep by Train
Having backpacked Bitola in North Macedonia, I continued the Balkans Adventure to Prilep by train.
Travelling on Macedonian Railways/Makedonski Železnici/Македонски Железници, a much more modern experience than travelling on Albanian Railways with their ex-East German rolling stock and Czechoslovakian engines circa 1988.
