Macedonia is a country of little worldwide renown
yet every inch is packed with incredible adventure opportunities
From the isolated Sharr mountains of the north
to the humongous natural lakes in the south
we did not find a boring corner of the country
Two weeks isn't enough to explore this small but diverse country
but we’ll try our best in this series to show you how the lands and people
truly succeeded in winning over our hearts
Cheers!
Are you ready to find out
what this wonderful nation has to offer?
We arrived at Lake Ohrid directly from Albania
Strangely, there was no public transport connecting the two countries
In the end, our bus driver
donned his taxi driver hat and took us here
Today is our first day in North Macedonia
As soon as we got here we checked into this
hotel which isn't really like our normal style
It'a little fancy
You can tell right away it's not our usual style
A room with a lake view
Actually we wouldn't book a place like this ourselves
When we arrived a friend knew we'd came
and she booked this room for us
Lake Ohrid
It must be one of North Macedonia's big sights
Thanks my friend, Annie
It's time to explore Ohrid, The City of Light
Annie told us this is the perfect place to grow old
and as we took our curiosity to the streets
we found the reality matched her description
Ambling around decorated churches and ancient buildings backdropped by the lake
is enough to make you feel as if you’ve stepped into a beautiful fantasy
This place used to have like gladiator games
For real?
Do you know what they are?
Fighting, right?
Yeah
The following morning this picturesque lakeside town had given us an idea
Today our plan is to go to the old town
To have a look around
So far we feel like North Macedonia...
How should I say?
It's pretty posh
Stay right there
Right now we're at Lake Ohrid
Oh yeah we are
and today we're going to be looking for some romantic photos
Look
Beautiful path
What do you think about taking a photo here?
I think it's northing special
Your babies are so huge
They are still drinking milk
Oh yes—your baby is here
Stand here
Oh my god
I think the reputation of this place is well-deserved
Online and now are as beautiful as each other
Oh yeah, I bet like at dusk it's so pretty here
This location is so perfect
I would say it's a little bit romantic—this tree
There's a nice reflection on the ground as well
You are the willow tree queen
Oh yeah
Feel like I got a cool fringe
What expression is that?
This forest nymph...
Time to say goodbye to Ohrid
but our exploration of Macedonia is only just beginning
In the next episode, Annie and Strašo lend us their car
and our road trip of the country begins
You must have left very early this morning
Three hour!
The capitol city, Skopje awaits!
