The weather has been crappy since my first day. I cannot change the weather so drunk bottles of beer in middle of the day. It cost $1.5 for 1.5ℓ bottle, and had hams and cheeses with. This was a luxury way of using time. I have been drinking beers everyday since Bulgaria because the price of beer have been very cheap.

なかなか天気がスッキリしないが、天気はどうにもできない。昼間から1.5ℓで約150円という破格のビールをハムとチーズで頂く。何て贅沢な時間の使い方か。ブルガリアに入ってからというものほぼ毎日ビールを飲んでる。


I went out some times to check around. Ohrid was used to be the center of Slavs' christianity. There were many old churches and monasteries left in this old town. Old town was quite compact, so it was good size for looking around in couple of hours.
気が向いた時に何度か町中を散策しに出掛けた。オフリドは元々スラブ人にとってキリスト教信仰の中心だったらしく、町の至る所に教会、修道院、城塞等が残っている。旧市街は思ったよりも小さくて、散策するのには半日あれば十分といった感じだった。














I didn't see much Asians in this town. It seemed there were no many Asian visitors. Thus, locals looked at me very curiously, but they were alway nice. I like Macedonian.
観光客は多いがアジア人はほとんど見ない。というか全く見かけなかった。だからバザールに行くと、皆さんの好奇の目が痛い。でも気さくでとても親戚だから、嫌な感じは全くしなかった。



In this time, I had stayed at Mr. and Mss Angeleska's home. They owned an apartment in their property, so I used an empty room as a guest room. It costs €10 included sharing kitchen, bathroom and free wifi. There were no other guests so I used this apartment like my own home. They were so nice. They treated me like one of their sun. Their location is in front of Antonio G.H. which seems pretty famous, so it's easy to find.
今回宿泊させて頂いていたのはヴィラギッツァ(Blagica Angeleska)さん宅。主屋と同じ敷地にあるアパート？を10ユーロで貸して頂いている。ダブルルーム、キッチン、風呂トイレ共同、Free Wi-Fi。とても綺麗で自分以外には誰も泊まってなかったから、アパートを自分の家のように使えてかなり快適だった。ヴィラギッツァさんは世話焼き母さん的な人でいろいろ助けて頂いた。旦那さんも世話焼きで、本当良い人達だった。場所は有名らしいアントニオゲストハウスの目の前。



During my stay there, I fixed a zip of my tent at a tailer shop. The zip had been broken, so my tent had been always half opened. Now, I don't need to worry about mosquitos.
滞在中、旧市街にあった仕立屋さんで壊れたテントのチャックを補強して頂いた。チャックのレール部分が壊れて半分閉まらなかったが、これで大丈夫。虫に怯えなくて良い。

I still need to buy a new tent since my tent, REI 4 season tent, is already old. I hope I can find one in Europe.
でもいずれにせよテントの寿命は過ぎている。どこかで新しく買わないといけない。ちなみに今の自分のテントはREIの物で、あまりコンパクトとは言えないが、4シーズンで中が広くて気に入っていた。


My time in Macedonia has been run out very quickly. Next country will be Albania. I couldn't see much this county but at least could find people were very friendly and helpful. I liked Macedonia.
あっという間にマケドニアでの時間は過ぎ去り、明日からはアルバニアに入る。マケドニア、人がとても良い国だった。
