The perfect place for alternative tourism

Kratovo. Ever heard of this little city? It's not too far off the Bulgarian border and it could be a real beauty. With that I mean that it could be a REAL beauty. But now, it's just interesting. Some hard Macedonian habits are nowhere so obvious as in Kratovo. Garbage! Disorder! Friendliness! Mucked up sheer beauty! It's all there. And nobody seems to enhance the good parts and put some effort in trying to get rid of the sad side. But that, I know, is hard for someone used to over-organized Dutch society with a multi-layered set of regulations. When I left Kratovo today, the thought of what to do with a winning lotery ticket came back to mind. If there is 35 Million Euro or more to spend / invest, than for my part, Kratovo is a place to do it. To start to get the real beauty more to the surface. As, if you look at the city very close, it simply beats Ohrid.
About investments: there is already a highway being made (European Agency of Reconstruction perhaps?) in the direction of Kratovo. The city has only to connect to that and then, I hope, it can finally do rid of the label it stuck to its own town: the perfect place for alternative tourism.

Photos from the East

	The only photo here featuring Kratovo. This is one of the three old bridges that I counted. All in the same style with big arches and cobbled stones. Also to be seen are the storage anex defence towers, a river anex garbage dump and the most beautiful nature surrounding it.
	Just a little further west from the Valley of the Stone Dolls this one cross (old?) is intriging. A little further away there is also a heap of other interestingly order stones, making up for some old... Well, for some old something stoney. It's completely covered by bushes, flowers and some trees.

	My favorite of today. Bugs, lizards and snakes do have a great view when they look up.
