Old churches and ancient lakes Jason Hills, England After a terrible journey we managed, after an hour, catch a bus to the town of Ohrid. The bus driver belongs to the category of people relaxing and not in a hurry, but we were with my friend Jay was like we had time to enjoy the scenery and take a nap. Terrain of Macedonia is very similar to those we saw in our recent travels - very hilly and lots of lush greenery. We drove through several small lovely villages, and we even managed to catch a glimpse of some of the local breed of dogs. It's Shepherd of 60 cm at the withers, which can beat even the wolf and bear. At that time, they fought with each other. Not sure that I was glad to meet them in a dark alley - they looked pretty intimidating. Lake Ohrid We arrived at the Orchid, and caused a real stir among a group of local women's cheeky form, each of which tries to get us to their guests. To be honest, they looked a little messy, and they with him there was no photos of apartments, so we chose the weird guy who somehow reminded me of Bruno of "Gavin and Stacey" (British comedy series - approx. TRANSFER .). He had a luxurious booklet apartment which looks decent enough for those 7 euros per person per day, which he asked us. The cheapest housing of all that we had to shoot. Everything was so good that even light creeping doubt, but is not there a trick, given the presence of balconies and lake views. Our fears were confirmed early in the morning when we awoke to thunder and sounds of saws over our heads. It turned out that in this apartment building build on an additional floor, just right over us, and we could only enjoy the thunder and strikes, which came on top. It must have been something of a fashion wake-up early - there was such a roar that seemed to now, neighbors burst into our room, done through the ceiling hole. Church of St. John we had to take a cool shower (hot water not included), which was very handy, as after the 27-hour journey here, we could not wake up. Our guide was talking about a decent and cheap fish restaurant right on the lake, with its own jetty. We decided to find him, since the procedure hungry. We tried to go around the map, but got confused and finally just went to the bank, overgrown with fir trees in the direction of a large beach where, in our view, could be a restaurant. We descended the slope of the hill and walked along the beach. He seemed quiet and deserted, but we kept going. On the way we met many old hotels and camping sites, and the farther we went, the more running it all looked. Finally, we gave up, cursing the last words of our guide for what threw us this insane idea. View of the lake on the way back we met one of the many inhabitants of the lake - too big. He pretty much scared me, and I vowed not to swim in the lake, despite the fact that the idea of ??a swim seemed enticing, and it was pretty warm. I have seen many pictures of this lake in the summer when it is literally filled with tourists from Eastern Europe. They bathe, do not worry about snakes, but I have decided to not risk it. Lake Ohrid was formed 3 million years ago, the maximum depth reaches 300 meters, and part of the reservoir is located on the territory of Albania. It is surrounded by snow-capped mountain peaks and deserve to see him. If we had a car and the extra time, we would have toured around the lake, the more so because it is surrounded by many campgrounds and national parks. So we went back to church, and went down to the water to choose at least some place where you could eat, and unexpectedly stumbled upon the desired restaurant. It is obvious that we need to improve our ability to read maps! We intended to order the fried fish, caught in the lake, the one that looks like a tiny bait fish. Something like we saw in Spain, so the fish can be eaten whole. After lunch we went to sleep, resting after an exhausting journey. Deadline for material:
