Episode 6

Along mighty rivers and mountains, the wind blows to Korcë, where Wouter bumps into Flemish Mother Theresa. He sleeps in a pantry but, above all, gets to know an exceptional lady with an even more exceptional story. He then cycles to Lake Ohrid where he accidentally tastes a forbidden fish and crosses the border back into northern Macedonia. In Ohrid itself, a mix between Elvis and Popeye takes him for a boat ride after which, under a leaden sun, he rides on towards Prilep. There, apart from the storks, tobacco cultivation catches the eye. Wouter gets the story from farmer Mende and the following day encounters Biljana, who has been sent out by the United Nations to re-educate the farmers. It remains bloody hot, the day ends in Valandovo at 35 degrees.
