    Enjoying this quirky town! Started with a walking tour on day one. Other days we've meandered through town, explored the old fortress, seen several meh museums, and our last full day headed to Makta canyon and caves.Read more

  • Exploring Ohrid

    June 3, 2025 in North Macedonia ⋅ ☀️ 25 °C

    Our attempt at booking a walking tour was a fail - booked wrong day, and there is apparently no organized tour on weekdays.

    Oh well, we made up our own. Went on a big meander through churches with old frescos, along the lakeside boardwalk, up to another church on the hill, farther up into the woods, up to Samuels fortress, down to the Roman amphitheater. Then we found a nice outdoor restaurant for an aperol spritz!Read more

  • Long walk

    June 4, 2025 in North Macedonia ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

    This morning we took a long walk south of town. Some was on the lake, and some was just quiet roads. Nice lunch lakefront with a cool view looking back at town.

  • Exploring Tirana

    Jun 6–10, 2025 in Albania ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

    It's hot here! Finally getting summer, it's in the 90s 😂

    Taking it easy in this town. Day one we did a very informative walking tour, then saw Bunkart2 which was a lot of police history, including the atrocities of the Communist era and their work camps. And, in the evening went to a local bar to watch the Albania/Serbia soccer match, which was a very big deal in town.

    Second day we took a long walk through the big park, around the lake. Pretty, but too warm towards the end. Then met up with another nomad (Renee) for dinner.

  • Exploring Berat

    Jun 10–14, 2025 in Albania ⋅ ☀️ 31 °C

    A few days in Berat. First day we did a great walking tour, which included the fortress up the big hill.

    It's very hot here, in the 90s.

    Second day we took a long morning walk, chilled mid day, then a winery tour that ended up being a ton of fun.Read more
