Ohrid

The morning found us much refreshed and we drove to Ohrid on good roads. Ohrid is on the edge of the second biggest lake in Europe (according to Uncle Dennis). We stayed in a unit owned by a friend of Kate and Igor’s and it turned out that Robert knew Uncle Dennis (uncle of their friend who now lives in Ohrid but previously lived in Kanahooka). The unit was lovely and close to the lake. The lakeside was beautiful with many restaurants and shops along the edge of the water. After doing about 6 loads of washing we had a lovely dinner in a nice restaurant with Dennis and his new wife Mila. More washing and lunch with Dennis and Mila. Mila cooked cabbage rolls and other Macedonian delicacies and then we walked through the town. Next day we went for a boat ride across the lake, walked to the fortress and then to an old church. The views were spectacular. We also went for a drive to the springs that feed into the lake and another very old church. Ohrid is an interesting city and we had a chance to have a rest!
