Cool shots, nice to see Ohrid getting some appreciation! One of my favorite places in Europe. Had the pleasure of backpacking through there last summer!

Thank you! Southern Europe is a really underrated place in IF.

Nor did I! I just read through the Wikipedia page on the lake. Pretty fascinating. As an aside, the lake itself looks absolutely stunning.

It’s a shame IF doesn’t have snow in yet, Manchester was said to be very snowy yesterday and had many delays and diversions because of the snow.
