5-7 Naum Ohridski Ohrid, Macedonia, 6000, 46-277528

... 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
Bitola, Macedonia schwateHallo 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>
Ohrid, Macedonia schwate... etwas ueber ein Drittel ist Mazedonien, der Rest liegt in Bulgarien) und blockieren Mazedoniens Versuche der NATO oder EU beizutreten. Und es gibt eine recht grosse albanische Minderheit, was ebenfalls fuer Reibungen sorgt.<br><br>Die beiden beruehmtesten Mazedonien sind Mutter Teresa, die einer albanischen Familie aus Mazedonien entstammt und natuerlich Alexander der Grosse. <br><br>Mazedonien versucht den ...
Ohrid, Macedonia schwate... who are just returning: go on, they urge... it's fine! Roads much better shortly So we do, and it is & they are! All the way to Tirana anyway. <br>But the poverty!!! Heartbreaking. Come to a rickety wooden bridge, old railway sleepers - and I mean old! Looks very much like footage you see of Vietnam.<br>On the other hand - bizarrely! - there are more petrol stations here than I have every seen anywhere. Also, tons of great big ...
Ohrid, Ohrid, Macedonia marcdolav... city itself does has a number of old churches and a castle, they are very heavily renovated and kind of lose their authenticity. Nonetheless I dutifully walked the walk (one of the old churches, St. Ivan, which perches on a cliff on the lake shore, was the highlight of the walk), then bought a bottle of Vrance, a locally produced dry red wine, went back to the hostel and whiled away the afternoon with it and a siesta afterward, since I had been up since 0330.
Ohrid, Ohrid, Macedonia chan_hc... however, as it was getting dark and I was not driving on those road, with those drivers in the dark, we just went round the corner and parked for the night under the cover of the bushes and trees, I drove very slowly and asked Ned to keep watch as I didn't want to encounter any men getting frisky in the bushes and was soooo relieved that I didn't run any of them over! The next morning we woke at 6am and left quickly as we didn't want to get into any trouble with the police ...
Ohrid, Macedonia shikhabelle... back to Ohrid for her and her 2 children, while her husband stays with their broken car. I got in the back with the children and off we went. In the car ride, we learned that the lady was an english teacher at the university. Her eldest daughter who was only 15, is going to be an exchange to Germany during this next school year. We had told them how Marija was my family's exchange student. She seemed very excited and has a friend already from ...
Ohrid, Macedonia brandilinasue... church in the middle of it. They say because it was not washed away, that it is "Holy"!! The site of this lake and seeing the church was spectacular. Leaving Mavrovo, we passed a famous actor in Macedonia, but we didn't stop. On our way to Struga, where our hotel is, we stopped at a half way point town called Strazha. There we stopped to give Marija time to stretch and for her to buy me something called Mekica. It was good ...
Struga, Macedonia brandilinasue... fort provides a decent wander before I make my way down to the waterfront. Christian, one of the Kiwis, has arranged a boat ride. For the next two days, the boys and I will ponder whether this trip was actually worth 10 Euros each. Aristo, our guide, we later learn is well known around Ohrid and generally avoided by all who can do so without being rude. The man doesn't know when to shut up! He's disappointed that we don't want to pay him extra ...
Ohrid, Macedonia kally563... and had a chat with them. He came back to us. 1km if we walk with them!!! So off we went - military escort out of Macedonia!!! I don't even think it was a kilometre! He stood there making sure we left and then marched back for a smoke. His days work done, escorting infidels out of the country! Marvelous! Being a virgin border walker, I was really excited!! My first border crossing on my own two feet! There was Albania - just around the corner.........
