Hotel Slavia 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 ...

I opt to chill out for the day and stay in Ohrid. Pretty, peaceful, good hostel, friendly people &#8230; 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 ...

... open the shops and souvenir stalls located there. One of the women tried to brush an ant off Efren's back that she noticed on the bus ride, but it was too late and it crawled on to his neck, freaking him out. The woman told him it was nothing to fear and not poisonous!<br><br>We walked along and soon came to the incredibly beautiful springs that feed Lake Ohrid. The springs were gushing into the lake causing turbulence where the flow met the ...

... existed between the rows. We squeezed through and stopped ten centimeters after the car before us. Small chance that a tractor could get in between the two of us. We were duly processed out of Greece and suddenly the red spots had gone. The Macedonians found everything OK, we had to insure the car for the time in their country (and eleven days extra, as two weeks in the minimum). Then the Customs officer told us that ...

... the car we headed to our hotel to just visit some more, but we stopped at one more place to have coffee, well they had coffee, me and Sasa had Coke. I like watching people and observing them, this is what I noticed of Marija's mother tonight. She is very quiet, maybe that's just the language barrier. She organizes her money in her pocket book, it's cute! She also has a beautiful smile. She knows some English, but I am told ...

... further travels, I shall flee to other shores Where the sunrise, greets me brightly, And the sky is sewn with the stars. It is dark here, dark surrounds me, Dark for covers all the earth, Here are frost and snow and ashes, Blizzards and harsh winds abound, Fogs all around, the earth is ice, And in the breast are cold, dark thoughts. No, I cannot stay ...

... the monastery, then headed north again. We didn't know the bus schedule (should've asked around, oh well.) Tried to hitch, but all the cars were packed, so ended up taking a taxi for 200 dinars total to Gradishte, not a bad price. Gradishte is about halfway back towards Ohrid and is 4 beautiful pebble beaches next to a camp site. We spent about 5 hours at the beach. It was beautiful ...
