Villa Germanoff 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 ...

... known image of Ohrid with the church set against the deep blue waters of the lake.<br><br>Traveling onward we visited the newly built St Clement's Monastery church and viewed the ruins of the older churches being excavated at the site (Plaosnik). We then climbed upward to probably the most impressive church of the bunch -- the Church Mother of God Perivleptos. The frescos were stunning and the helpful woman who sold Efren the ticket gave him a ...

... et le vatican se sont depeches a reconnaitre ces nouveaux pays (raymond gravel n'a pas le droit de faire de la politique, pourtant le modele vient de haut!!!)... oliver chez qui j'habite a une reponse bien simple:" avant nous etions un pays fort respecte par la communaute internationale.... maintenant, coupes en petits morceaux, que sommes-nous? rien... ca profite aux grands..." et je pense qu'il y a beaucoup de vrai la-dedans... pour l'instant, la panace, c'est l'union ...

... the longest inh*bit*ted chunk of l*nd on the continent. The city of Ohrid, 30-40,000 big, is the site of the first university in Europe, where Cyrilic w*s invented, *nd the whole old town in * UNESCO World Herit*ge site. But the bus ride here w*s the true *m*zement. M*cedoni* is - yep, I *m going to s*y it- the most be*utiful country I h*ve been to. Huge mount*ins, impossibly green, shoot down to tiny vill*ges of brick homes. Wide rivers flow everywhere. Impenetr*t*ble ...

... sa naprawde urocze. Ale najwieksze wrazenie robi bazylika sw. Klemensa. Obecny kosciol stoi tuz przy ruinach pierwszej swiatyni, z IV wieku. Dalej wspielismy sie na twierdze Samuila, z ktorej rozposcieral sie widok na cale miasto i okolice. Gory tutaj sa duzo bardziej zielone i zalesione niz te w Grecji. No i pierwszy raz od dwoch tygodni ...

My two week vacation from the peace corps has finally begun. I've been looking forward to this since my last trip ended in April. Last night I took the night bus from Sofia to Ohrid. Took almost 11 hours. Fortunately I got 2 seats to myself, unfortunately across the aisle from me a man was sporadically throwing up into a plastic bag all night. The border crossing came around 10 pm, took about an hour, pretty painless. Only annoying factor was we had ...

... women again. What is even cooler about these girls though is that they never see Americans, so they all want to talk to you in their broken English. It is fun to go out and how tons of women approach you! And they LOVE AMERICANS in this town. I am sure they are all just looking for you to spend your money with them but they treat you so nice. The shop owners all attempt to ask where you are from and are so happy when you through out a little crazy ...
