Pension Old Town 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>

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 ...

As always I arrived at my destination today fully prepared to go to all lengths to bring you the finest sights and cheesy travel narratives right into the comfort of your own homes. Lake Ohrid is no exception. First on my agenda was to climb the steep and windy stone alleyways high above the town under the scorching Macedonian sun to reach Carsamoil's Castle. This 10th Century creation overlooks the lake and city and was ...

... and the bathroom in Randon was so hot it had turned the ducks bright pink, it was that hot!!! We were totally delighted at this... I know we are barking mad.... Anyway we headed for the water and Ned spotted an old ship yard so we drove down the track and stopped, 2 old fisher men came out and in my wonderful sign language I asked them if we could sleep there. They were lovely and totally bemused by the motor home but the further East we drove the more we were getting ...

... a little dance for us. That dance is called "ChoChek", which is a belly dance. At least she tried to do the dance, but she didn't want to do it alone... she called on all of us to do it with her!! It was a great time. Before we went back, Marija took me to a village called Radozhda. Radozhda is the last village on the Macedonian side before you get to Albania.I was able to take a distant picture of Albania, but we couldn't cross ...

· Ohrid, Macedonia · GMT +1:00 hour Macedonia. 2 days late Here is an excerpt from our last entry, dated 3 days ago... So that, as they say, was that from Tirana. We get the bus in the morning to our next destination, Ohrid, a small town on the shores of Lake Ohrid in Macedonia. The bus departs at 9am and we hope to be resting by the lakeshore sometime early tomorrow afternoon. Oh yeah, we hope. Well, as it turned out 'that ...

... sense here. I booked the two of us into what is apparently Ohrid's only youth hostel. As a matter of fact, it seems to be one of only three hostels in the country. Few people seem to be aware of it either, as there isn't a single rating for the place on the online booking sites. Perhaps understandable for a place that's just a few months old, but interesting still considering this is supposed to be the country's biggest tourist destination. Anyhow, the ...

Things that I found interesting here in Macedonia: They have telenovas (spanish soap operas) on the airwaves and they just subtitle them. I wish they had dama del bosque or la tormenta though. A gelato scoop is only 20 cents. Some words like "parking" are not translated, but you have to read cyrillic to know what it says. I'm in Ohrid right now. It has many things to enjoy. It's built like an ancient lakeside resort but ...
