Hotel Zastava Ohrid

... 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

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>

... 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 ...

... the cobblestone roads to the fortress are great. The pace is slow and relaxing. There is a great path that winds in and out of the beaches on its way to a great old church. The old man giving us a tour is delighted that we are so interested and offers us Raiki (a local brandy).<br><br>After some rain, a beautiful rainbow appears.

... up from below. Ducks and herons were everywhere and the place was just incredibly peaceful. Nikola did a great job telling us about the history of the area. He is also a wonderful photographer and is planning to participate in an exhibition displaying his work in Poland in early 2010.<br><br>After the boat ride we went back to the Sv Naum complex and had a nice lunch overlooking the lake. We then strolled around a bit more and came to the ...

le défi ici c'est l'écriture cyrillique (comme le russe)... c'est vrai que ce n'est pas toujours evident... par exemple: le H est un N; LE n a l'envers est un I; le X est un K ; le C est un S; le P est un R... ETC... C'EST ASSEZ POUR PERDRE SON LATIN... aujourd'hui il fait encore froid, 17 C, le jour sans le vent... le contact avec le jesuite hier n'a pas ete terrible... sur le plan liturgique, c'etait pas fort non plus... aujourd"hui je suis alle en bateau de croisiere sur le lac ...

So, D*vid's birthd*y w*s spent lounging, sunb*thing *nd swimming *t this secluded spot, followed by * m*ssive Greek lunch of ro*st go*t (kid on * spit), cheese stuffed red peppers, grilled octopus, s*rdines, eggpl*nt s*l*d, tz*ziki, grilled fet*, bre*d, *nd * mixed pl*tter *bund*nt in me*t.

Ovde je mrachno i mrak m'obviva i temna m'gla zemja pokriva, mrazoj i snegoj, i pepelnici, silni vetrishcha i vijulici, okolu m'gli i mrazoj zemni, a v gr'di studoj, i misli temni. Ne ...

... for every day of the year if you don't have a calendar handy. (I'm not sure what they do on leap years; maybe temporarily convert a mosque or inflate a bouncy castle and stick a castle up top . . .) Half a dozen men are waiting for us as we get off the bus, reminding us of those crazy days in India or Tanzania. Each of them has a private room they would like us to rent and each has a unique niche in the market ...

... raised an objection to the painting of this story, but maybe Maria's professors will be preoccupied with another probable Turkish invasion. Entirely by chance, later that afternoon, Bro and I ran into the student from Michigan. The three of us explored the castle of Ohrid, which rises above the lake on a hill across from Sveti Maria. It is pretty much a ruin, although the imposing walls have been recently restored. Lizards scamper through the cracks in the walls and between ...
