Donco Ohrid

Hallo zusammen,

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.

Die Stadt ist natuerlich nicht uebermaessig gross, hatte 3h Aufenthalt, neben der Stadt gibt es allerdings noch eine weitere Sehenswuerdigkeit 2km ...

Hallo zusammen,

viele Gruesse aus Ohrid in Mazedonien, meinem 123 Land. Der Bus ist morgens um 2 Uhr in Ohrid angekommen, das war mir zu frueh um auf den Sonnenaufgang zu warten (oder ich werde allmaehlich alt, take your pick:-)), also habe ich mir noch ein Zimmer genommen (Hostels gibt es hier keine, aber Privatunterkuenfte, einer hat mich sogar um diese Uhrzeit am Busbahnhof abgefangen).

It looked a blockade from where we were, but slowly continuing, we saw an opening ...

Ha Ha During more of the conversation, Marija stepped out to tell me that she deserves to be in this entry- she killed a spider that was in the bathroom( for me) Sooooooooo..... I must say that she is "THE MAN!!!" Goodnight Ladies and Gentlemen... til tomorrow!!!

... 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 ...
