Donco Ohrid

Hallo zusammen,<br><br>bin vor 6 Uhr aufgestanden um den Bus nach Bitola zu erwischen. Dies war eine bedeutende ottomanische Stadt mit einigen Konsuln aus anderen Laendern. Daher gibt es einige nette alte Gebaeude, einige Moscheen und einen kleinen Basar, wie ihn jede islamische Stadt hat.<br><br>Die Stadt ist natuerlich nicht uebermaessig gross, hatte 3h Aufenthalt, neben der Stadt gibt es allerdings noch eine weitere Sehenswuerdigkeit 2km ...

Hallo zusammen,<br><br>anbei noch einige Nachtaufnahmen aus Ohrid. Endlich weiss ich, dass ich mein Trauma vom Raubueberfall ueberwunden habe, wenn ich durch eine dunkle osteuropaeische Stadt wandere:-) <br><br>Gruss<br>Ralf<br>

... meine erste seit Wellington:-)<br><br>Mazedonien ist seit Januar 1992 unabhaengig, das einzige Land aus dem Ex-Jugoslawien, aus dem die jugoslawische Armee ohne Kampf abgezogen ist.

... at most extreme tip of Croatia &amp; thereby allow max time poss for dash across A.<br>However, enormous thunderstorm renders that unfeasible. So, we decide to press on &amp; see how we go!<br>At first, appears bad decision: we miss suggested, best route, end up on real **** roads.. in Montenegro. If this bad here, we are thinking, how much worse is it going to get? Literally on point of giving up when we meet a convoy of French ...

I left Berat by an early morning bus, and after 3 hours and a lot of confusion at the end of the ride, I entered Macedonia by foot and end up in Ohrid, a small city at the shore of a lake with the same name.<br><br>I had high hope for this place. All the info I got indicated it's like Bled of Slovenia, but when I got there I found out that wasn&#8217;t the case. The setting is much less beautiful, there is no easily accessible hiking trail, and even though ...

... that sat with Marija and I spoke english to me. It was just a nice time to relax and take in the air. I just felt sorry for the guy that had to "row" us, cause it looked hard and can only imagine how many times a day he does it. After getting off the boat we then went to the many different stands of souvenirs to look around. As we were getting in the car to go back to Ohrid, we were ask by a lady for a ride. The lady had asked Marija for a ...

... to explain to me about the monastery. I can not explain the whole experience, just being there, it made me want to cry. Back on the road again, we headed to a town called Debar. We were stopped and told that the bridge to Debar was under construction and we could not pass. So, instead we just headed to Mavrovo Lake. Marija wanted to show me this lake and the uniqueness of it. This particular lake is man made, but there is a ...

... lake. It was beautiful. I can't remember how old the church is but it was lovely and had frescos inside. The guy didn't ask us for any money so we continued to wander round. He lit the oil lamps hanging from the ceiling and went back to his box. We went and had a coffee at the cafe and asked the boy there how to get to the Albanian border as we knew it was pretty close. 3km if we walked the road but then he pointed to some soldiers buying up on ...
