Ohrid with a view

Strolling around the cobbled streets of Ohrid yesterday was fun, inspite of the grey sky. The area north of the castle hill had this turkish feel about it, and no wonder with 500 years of turkish people living there. I really loved hearing the muezzin call for prayer around 2 pm close to the big bazaar.
My host Huriser was born and raised in Ohrid, she told me all about the best places to go.
Which I managed for some time, and then the rain started and it got really cold (next time I will not forget my gloves) and I went back to Al's flat for some catching up on the latest news on tv and some reading on Macedonia.
This morning Tume from Mongolia came by bus from Sofia, she will stay the weekend, so we can walk around some together and catch a taxi to Struga and/or St. Naums. A pretty little jewel of a place, this Ohrid. I wonder what investors will manage to make out of it...
