A little relaxation in Ohrid, Macedonia.

After an breakfast of ham & cheese omelet together with coffee and juice - it seems to be the breakfast of every hotel here, well except Hi Skopje that had that giant bun and sour milk, it was good tho and that bun lasted a big chunk of the day for me.

Anyway, I was off to see some sights of Ohrid, namely Samuil's_Fortress, Church of St. John at Kaneo and Saint Panteleimon. The first two was amazing, the church for it's location and incredibly tranquil gardens and paths just near the lake, the fort because of its mighty structure and unbelievably spectacular vantage points. While the Panteleimon was beautiful too it was a huge restoration project around it and inside as well so it didn't make it as attractive. None of the church or the Panteleimon allowed photographs or video to be recorded inside. I got a lot of both outside these places tho.

After that I went and had a light lunch of salami, Skopsko beer, Red Bull and something that looked like fries but had a flavoring of hot dog. It cost 200 denar and that's about 3,3 euro so that is 30 SEK, meaning it's really cheap here.

In the afternoon I wen't through my bike and adjusted some things - I think the saddle has been a bit much tilted backwards as I had a little pain in my... well... you know after yesterdays ride.

Tomorrow I am passing into, what I believe, to be the gem of the trip - Albania, the first major goal there is the town Berat which I will tell you more of once I get there. It is however about 170 metric miles there so I will camp for my first night and divide it into two days, also I plan to stay there one day extra if nothing unforeseen occurs.

Right, I am off to get something to eat and then stock up on food, water and supplies for my continued journey tomorrow!
