    Have just got back from doing this trip, it's really nice watching these videos after experiencing it in person! We got some mega thunder and lightning between Plav and Vusanje at around 2000m, so hearing the thunder in the video brought back some flashbacks. We also stopped at that house in Balqin! The woman was very friendly and welcoming
