Lake Ohrid

After a few days in the Macedonian capital, we traveled by bus to Ohrid, a lakeside city on the Macedonian/Albanian border. Lake Ohrid is a tourist destination with an abundance of guest houses and restaurants catering to tourists seeking a pleasant summer mountain retreat. There were nearby ruins dating back to the 4th century BC, and numerous orthodox churches, all worth exploring....
