... Als Tourist hat man dies alles fuer sich. <br><br>Philip II, Vater von Alexander dem Grossen, gruendete nahe Bitola die Stadt Heraclea Lyncestis die bis in die byzantinische Zeit eine bedeutende Stadt war, im 4 Jahrhundert auch wichtige christliche Stadt wurde mit einer Basilika, von der heute noch gute Bodenmosaike erhalten sind. Die Stadt wurde dann von den Goten und erneut von den Slawen gepluendert und verfiel dann.<br><br>Gruss<br>Ralf

... down with several large bottles of Skopska beer.<br><br>After dinner we wandered around some more and ended up spending time drinking cappuccino watching the people stroll by along Marshal Tito. It was very interesting to visit a Macedonian town without many tourists as we got a sense for what life is like here. What is clear is that the evening stroll along the street, known as the "korso" here, is an integral part of daily ...

Version francaise plus bas After 48 hours of travel, including a short trip in Frankfurt, waiting for a connecting flight (Ah! German Wurst and Kraut!), we finally arrived in Bitola at 3 in the morning. For those that don't know the FYRM, more commonly known as Macedonia, is an ex-Yugoslav republic where Alexander the Great was born 2300 years ago. The capital is Skopje, although the most important city is Bitola, famous for the birth of Marija ...

28 Eylül 2008 Pazar günü Kosova'nýn baþkenti Priþtina havaalanýndayýz.Tam bir hayal kýrýklýðý. Herþey gri, yorgun bir þehir. 10 km daha batýya gidip Sultan I.

We left in the afternoon on Friday to head to Kratovo. We didn't leave of course before we ate some stuffed peppers. Sashe got home and then we packed and on the road we went. On the way, I had noticed a bridge that looks like it was in the process of being built. I was told about the bridge and how it supposed to be cursed. They say that whenever they try to start to build it, there is a war that gets started. Marija says the last time ...

Two days ago: The shoot was super long. Not too much happened. Took a few magic hour photos and alot of animal photos. Found out there are some hardcore kids in town and they are gonna take me to a concert sunday night. Should be interesting. One day ago: For being so close to greece, it sure is hard to find greek yogurt here. Most of the yogurt is the drinkable stuff. I Want thick yogurt ...

Not much to report today. Mostly just wanted to put up a few photos. Shoot went well, we got rained out but shot some interiors. Seemed really short. I think I really like black olives. I dont like onions. There is one wierd thing going on. For some reason this little band of mercenaries is wandering around the set. Im not sure if they are there to protect us or ...

Our friend from Michigan we met on the bus to Skopje said that the Treskavec monastery above Prilep was Macedonia's Must-See. We arrived in Prilep at three in the afternoon and caught a taxi to the base of the moutain the monastery sits upon, some ten kilometers from the city. When the cab could go no further, the driver let us out, took our money, and pointed some directions to the top. It did not appear to be far away, perhaps fourty five minutes' hike at the most. The ...

The only thing that I didn't like was only doing this as a day trip, instead of spending the night as I could (and should) have done. Getting a bus from Ohrid at a very civilised 10 in the morning, Jason (random australian I had met on the bus from Tirana) and I unfortunately didn't arrive in Prilep until 1 in the afternoon, so were left with the 10km walk to the monastery to do in the hottest part of the day. Ignoring the taxi drivers advice that ...
