Hotel Metropol 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>

Hallo zusammen, <br><br>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). Endlich eine ...

... lesser road on map; or left, into Macedeonia, for longer run but on major road. With timke lost we opt for former -and promptly lose some more, as we descent on absolute pig of a surface, get to bottom, turn around, and crawl back up again!<br>Right choice, for whilst not perfect, this road turns out to be perfectly adequate.<br>As it begins to get dark we search for campigs we have been directed to by locals; can't find them, and find ...

... seen any tourists since I have been here the only ones being Macedonian tourists or neighbouring countrys tourists. The backpackers is also really nice and the staff are really freindly and always helpful. I took a stroll around the town, the weather was actually quite nice for a change although it did rain later on. I managed to see the old roman theatre and the old castle which gave me great views of the lake and surronding mountains as well as a little ...

... end of the boulevard we turned around and drove back to the hotel. I felt really sorry for the local guide who was trying to put a good spin on an unsellable product. We then headed off through the mountains of Albania. The local name for the country is Shqiperia, the land of the eagle. Driving through the mountains explained why. The roads are narrow and winding. With the crazy drivers around here we often gasped as they passed the bus on blind corners or ...

... place again, for the food- but Marija thinks so for other reasons. So, there is no law that says you have to tip your waiters or waitresses. People only do when they get really good service. I have yet to be able to be the one to tip so in this case I wanted to tip our waiter for the good service. Marija, now calls him my "boyfriend". I don't know what I am going to do with her... earlier I was asked if I wanted to marry a Macedonian Doctor ...

... a little village called Kalishta in Struga. Hotel Makpetrol is really nice, but they have no lifts(elevators). Of course we are on the 3rd floor too! The view is beautiful, off of our balcony we can see the pool area and leading down to the beach. We decided to head down to the pool area for some relaxation before Sashe and Suzana arrived. At first Marija didn't want to get into the pool, but she felt sorry for me because I ...

... to bar Macedonia from joining the UN until their changed their name to "Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia." Oh vey! So, Aristo ranted about such things for three hours whilst showing us a fishing village that looked like a continuation of Ohrid, a church, a bat, and a cave where he and his buddies have BBQs in the summer. Great...Final verdict was that we were glad to have gone out on the lake, but that the "tour" was pretty crummy. In Ohrid ...
