Our journey continues with day 6, starting in Ohrid.

Breakfast in Ohrid
First stop was Samuil's Fortress.

 
Inside the Fortres

We continued by the coast of Lake Ohrid and into the National park Galičica to Lake Prespa (Prespanjsko jezero). Prespa is the name of two freshwater lakes in southeast Europe, shared by Greece, Albania, and Macedonia. Of the total surface area, 190 km2 belongs to Macedonia, 84.8 km2 to Greece and 38.8 km2 to Albania. They are the highest tectonic lakes in the Balkans, standing at an altitude of 853 m.

The Monastery of Saint Naum is an Eastern Orthodox monastery in the Republic of Macedonia, named after the medieval Saint Naum who founded it. Saint Naum, also known as Naum of Ohrid or Naum of Preslav (c. 830 – December 23, 910) was a medieval Bulgarian scholar and missionary among the Slavs.

Hello Republika e Shqipërisë - Albania
We continued our trip in Albania. Starting in Pogradec, continuing by the Albanian shore of Lake Ohrid into inland, passing cities Qukës and Elbasan, to the capital, Tirana.

And they told us they only had only bad roads. Huge mistake.
