Hotel Park Ohrid

... Als Tourist hat man dies alles fuer sich.

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.

... als Einnahmequelle zu foerdern, hat aber das Problem, dass es keine Kueste hat, das haelt dann doch viele Touristen ab hierhin zu kommen. Dafuer hat es den tiefsten See des Balkans, Lake Ohrid, an dessen Ufer die Stadt Ohrid liegt (300m tief). Dies ist die schoenste Stadt Mazedoniens, einige Kirchen, eine Festung ueber der Stadt und einige alte Gebaeude. Es ist daher auch die touristischste Stadt. So ...

I opt to chill out for the day and stay in Ohrid. Pretty, peaceful, good hostel, friendly people … The girls, recovering Celine and I explore the town. The highlights are the tiny, Orthodox churches from a half century ago. Lots of personality, interesting frescoes with a backdrop of the mountains and lake. The views as we ...

... Albania border crossing. We toyed with the idea of crossing over the border, but the signs saying "permission is needed to enter" deterred us from going any further.

We walked along the lake and were ready to head back to Ohrid. A nice gentleman at the bus stop told us the bus wasn't coming for another 90 minutes, and suggested we go with him on a brief boat trip on the lake to take some pictures. So for 300 dinar we were back on ...

... t want to go in there by myself. We quickly dipped into the pool, laid out in the sun to dry and then we headed back to our room to shower and change. Just a little later, Sashe and Suzana arrived and I met Sashe for the first time! I had seen him pictures prior, so I already knew what he looked like. After greeting for a bit, we headed to a little village called Vevchani. Quaint little village, famous for it's carnival. The ...

... ne mozham ovde da sedam, ne, ja ne mozham mrazoj da gledam! Dajte mi krilja ja da si metnam i v nashi str'ni da si preletnam; na nashi mesta ja da si idam, da vidam Ohrid, Struga da vidam.

... they shout to us while jostling to be in our line of vision. "My place is closest to the beach!" says Man #1. "My place is closest to the town - only three hundred metres from the vegetable market!" counters Man #2. "My place is the cheapest - only six euros a night!" "My place has colour TV!" "I lived in Australia for fourteen years!" And so on. It's a good show and we let them fight over us for a few minutes and ...
