An Ohrid Weekend!

We spent last weekend by Lake Ohrid in Macedonia with a group of friends collected from all corners of the world.  Lake Ohrid is about 4-5 hours drive from Gjilan (factoring in stops to buy local honey from roadside vendors and toilet breaks in scary service stations).  Here are some pics.

A family of swans that paddled up to visit us
Cailean from Canada preparing us all a hardcore Canadian brekky: french toast with bacon, doused in maple syrup.

Kelly and Ali enjoying that brekky on the terrace.

The church on the hill above the house where we were staying.

Silver linings

Our neighbours had a boat called the 'Captain Cook' and we hired it for a sunset cruise around the lake
The ship!

Captain Cook himself!

Captain Cook's wife had prepared us some sunset snacks - grilled fresh fish and breaded eggplant and zucchinis
