Thanks for visiting my town. This rare blend of nature and history placed the Ohrid Region on the UNESCO World Heritage list, as one of not many natural and cultural heritage sites in the world. The Church of Saint Sophia was salvaged after WWII in a big project with combined forces of Macedonian, Yugoslav and European specialists in several fields. Its structure was fixed, the frescoes cleaned and its ambient is still the most beautiful venue for classical music concerts during the Ohrid Summer Festival. You filmed only the outside part of the Ohrid Museum, the so called Lapidarium, but inside the House of Robevi is the Golden Mask found in the old part, near the Upper Gate. With several thousand years of continuous life, Ohrid held many civilizations and is maybe the oldest town in this part of the world. Evidence of that is everywhere. The Archbishopric of Ohrid lasted from 1020 to 1767, when it was abolished by the Sultan's decree, at the urging of the Greek Eastern Orthodox leaders of Istanbul, and was placed under the jurisdiction of the Patriarch of Constantinople. That's why there are so many churches and monasteries, in the old part of the town and in the surrounding areas, in the villages, on the lake shores (cave churches). The Ohrid Literary School established in 886 by Clement of Ohrid is another important segment of our town history. The school used the Glagolitic alphabet from its establishment until the 12th century and Cyrillic from the end of the 9th century onward. Many manuscripts are today in foreign major museums, like the Codex Assemanius. Lake Ohrid is one of Europe's deepest and oldest lakes, with a unique aquatic ecosystem of worldwide importance, with more than 200 endemic species. The modern name of the town literally means On a Hill (O hrid) in Slavic. The name Ohrid first appeared in 879 AD. Many ancient monuments are gone today because the material was used to build the churches or the fortifications around town in later periods.
It's so great to get to see some of this beautiful lesser traveled area of the world again! The amount of old churches in Ohrid is absolutely crazy, and all the old stone architecture is so amazing. Loved the "natures bubble wrap". So much more environmentally friendly, yet just as satisfying! The boat ride on the lake was so peaceful and you surely found the best place in the city for your picnic. And as usual, your drone footage and B roll is the best! So great to have you back guys.
Wow thank you friends!! It is so fun finally getting to share this amazing place. We have been so excited to show off Macedonia. It really is a place to not miss. Yev definitely was brave with the drone flying but it paid off!
This is the most amazing comment to read!! So glad UA-cam dropped us on your screen and you clicked. So happy you are here. Nice to meet you new friend 👋🏻
So glad you enjoyed the video and found our channel. We are so very sorry if the use of North offended you. That was in no way our intention.

We loved making it and loved loved loved this country and the locals we met.

It really was exceeded all expectations and Bobby was great! So glad you came across our little channel and enjoyed the video and commented! Thank you!
It really was absolutely stunning. So so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for commenting and letting us know- we love hearing what you liked. Definitely recommend visiting this place. Surpassed all expectations!
Just found your channel and you guys are such fun! Loved the turtle at the church 😍 so cool to be standing in front of the church that is literally on the bank note you were holding! Fact checking the origination of the one church 😂 SO many churches and so much history! The bloopers 🤣
This is the best comment to read! So glad you found our channel ! 💛💛 the bloopers cracked us up in this one! Love to hear you enjoyed them even watching us for the first time. Hope you stick around and adventure with us!
I like the natural bubble wraps 😊. There’s a really a beautiful architecture. I would be so scared that my phone slipped out of my hands when trying to take pictures through those little holes. Landscapes are beautiful and you were like alone in the world on this lac.
Yev is way braver with his phone. I startle way to easy! Wasnt that plan super cool. Still dont know what it was. Having the lake to ourself was like a dream! Absolutely beautiful! Thank you for your kind kind comment 💛💛
That's so many churches in one spot. And it's a beautiful city, the white and orange buildings are so pretty. That seemed like such a nice boat ride and amazing drone shots of the lake and city. I've never seen a rosemary plant before... I'm a fan of basil personally but I don't really like to cook.
Yeaa definitely dont think the rosemary would grow in Canada. Too cold. It is so so yummy on steak or veggies! We like cooking though. The boat ride was so beautiful we were so excited that the shots captured how great it was!
Totally understand, we spoke with lots of locals when there. Sorry if us putting North offended you. We put it for the sale of key words and to help others find our video and showcase this absolutely beautiful country and wonderful people. We didn’t mean any offense! Hope you enjoyed the video!
Y'all are so fun! I like your sense of wonder about everything around you. It's nice to discover the churches and even the plants through your eyes. Love the drone footage! Such a gorgeous lake and nice that you get to experience it with some local wine!
Oh that is so wonderful to hear! So glad that wonder translates well. I totally agree that local wine elevates every experience 😄 is there local wine in Thailand??
Awww HELLO!!! Every Macedonian we met was so kind. Absolutely amazing country and people. Thank you! We had such a wonderful time and cant thank you enough!
Yay! Thanks we loved them too, it was a little nerve-racking trying to fly it chasing the boat but also look good for a video hahah and then the whole thing of making sure it doesn't disconnect from the controller and fall into the lake haha
@@DjusLife hahah I bet that is nerve racking! I had the same feeling when I tried my drone for the first time flying over the Cumberland river in Nashville 😬🤣
Ok so I clicked on this after it showed up in my recommend feed and oh my goodness, talk about being instantly hooked! There are several travel vloggers I absolutely love and you guys might be the next ones already! What a stunning place! Very cool to be right near that building and have it on the currency you had in your possession! Drone shots? Impeccable! Yes the boat from the top down was among my favs but they all were simply breathtaking. I got a kick out the funnies at the end too.
Yes 👍🏼 Scott Hi 👋🏻 so glad you clicked and found us!! So happy to hear you loved the vlog. Definitely an epic drone shot day for sure. Love to hear you loved the funnies even as a first time Djuslife viewer that’s awesome. Hope you stick around and enjoy adventuring with us!
The zoom in on Amy’s face when you said 4-5th century BC 😂 What a beautiful town. I love all these churches and the fact that they are neighboring each other in some spots. Loved all the history and the fact that you got to enjoy the oldest lake in Europe with some wine...oh and Bobby! Oh my gosh that popping fruit was so satisfying and fun! I’ve never seen that before. Great vlog as always you two.
And Bobby!! The best hahaha 🤣 It really was a great place can’t recommend it enough. I still dont know the name of the popping fruit but it was so so cool!
@@DjusLife Well you let me (Rach) know because popping one of them is a new life goal of mine now lol I'm wondering if it is a kumquat...? But the way you squeezed it almost sounded hollow.
been to long guys!!!! so good to have you back!! what a great vlog always make me laugh!! love the old turtle!! how cool was the money where it was on the second story always cool to see it on the money! :) hahaha id love to pop some of natures natural bubble wrap!! sounds so cooL!! so many beautiful little chapels and churches 365 thats crazy jhons church the views from there were insane!!! the drone shot are on point! always love the funnies haha love the lunch was still on your faces but we couldn't see it on camera!! love your seagull impression too! have a good bus ride!!!
Wow thank you so much, it's so good to be back and making and sharing videos! So so glad you enjoyed the vlog throughout and that you stay around for the bloops, it's usually our favorite parts of the vlogs as they show some more of our personalities and failures haha. We love those bloops too as well as the one where we both can't seem to talk about the churches
This is so amazing to hear! So glad you found our channel, and liked the video! Thank you for commenting and watching. Love that you have been to Ohrid, it is absolutely beautiful, we feel so grateful that we have been able to see it and share it. Hoping it will encourage more people to go visit this beautiful country. Did you get to go out and ride on the water??
@@DjusLife yeah, it is crazy how underrated the country and city is 🤯 Indeed we did, headed op to Sveti Stefan with the boat. How up to date is your videos with your travels i.e how long after the trip to you post them?
Agreed, one of the biggest blessings of the pandemic was it led us to go to the Balkans which were not our original plans. Kosovo Albania and Macedonia blew us away!! Highly recommend all 3! As for how behind our videos are it depends. 🤦🏼♀️ we got very far behind when I went to help in the Covid ICUs which was originally going to only be for 3 months but the need continued far beyond that- so we are a few vids behind but almost caught up 👏🏼🤩☺️
@@DjusLife same here. Honestly never even knew that North Macedonia existed until it popped up as one of the open countries in covid. Tried visiting Kosovo, but they didn't want to let us in during covid :/ Oh, wow, well, thank you for helping in Coivd, that could not have been easy. You should maybe make a video on that, I think people would find it very interesting. Can't wait to watch the rest of your videos. Kee em coming :D
Sadly I don’t think that the hospital would let me bring a camera into the ICU. 😂 But I probably should talk about it a little bit on the channel as it is such a big part of our life. Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement. It is hard but very meaningful work. I’m honored to walk these really hard seasons with these people and their families. Such a bummer that you couldn’t go to Kosovo. Prizren is really a beautiful city. We were exactly the same, North Macedonia was not on our radar until it popped up as one of the open countries. We went after Albania which was also an amazing stop. 😍
Omg look at that turtle! 😍 it really is a beautiful church, stunning! Pretty cool to see the church printed on their money as well. Seems like they do love their history and are proud of it indeed. The sunset seems to be so beautiful. Your drone shots are just wow, pretty good editing too! Can't wait to visit ourselves one day!
I can see why it's called the City of Churches! Ok, that is a cool trick to stick your arm in the little window to get a picture of the fresco but I'd be too afraid to drop my phone accidentally. Would there even be a way to get it back?? The lake is beautiful! And having some local wine on a wooden boat is the best. The views from St. John's Church is amazing!! btw, I have rosemary bush in our backyard...love it!
I know so so so many churches! Imagine a Easter Sunday when the churches filled with people! Wow ! I think it would have been gone for good. 😳 Yev is very very very hard to startle and has very steady hands. Thankfully. You have a rosemary bush WOW!!! And it thrives that is amazing!!
Hellooo, just search for video about my home town, because i missed it so much, that i found your video. Guys, its amazing, you put so much love into this, and it makes me smile the whole time watching it, bacuase we can see how much interessed and love you put in to make this video :) I am very glad you enjoyed the time in my home town, and you will be back as soon as possible. Greetings from me, be blessed and have a great day. Hope to see you there soon ;)
Wow thank you so much for such an encouraging and kind message!! So glad you enjoyed the video. We absolutely LOVED our time in Macedonia and cannot recommend it enough. Everyone we met was unbelievably kind and we can not wait to go back. God’s abundant blessings on you as well!!
Hi 👋🏻 hope you are staying cool in TX! So amazing to read you enjoyed watching. Glad you found our little channel. Thank you for commenting and encouraging us!! Have a great day 💛💛
YAY, great to see you guys back. 365 churches, that is incredible and they are all so very beautiful. Your boat ride looked fantastic and the views were so very stunning. This city of lights/churches hehe, we would love to visit, as the history is amazing. As always love your bloopers and we can both totally relate to you both, when the words just don't want to come out right..hahaha. Great stuff guys and we can't wait to see the capitol. ONE LOVE
The bloops in this one had us dying laughing 🤣 so so funny. We were having such a great time this day but the bloops were the real deal 🤦🏼♀️ sometimes talking is so hard 🤪🤣
I knowwwww it is so so so fun to be back and 800 WOOT WOOT so so honored to have so many amazing people following along and enjoying our videos. It was actually another kara and nate lover that told his friends about us and his friend was number 800! So fun!
I know back when they did daily. They really are legends in travel vlogging. So glad they did cause they really inspired us to quit our jobs and go! Even post pandemic and all that happened I am still so so so happy we did!
Aww thank you so much, we're sorry we've been MIA for a bit, but its so nice to make and share a new video again. Theres definitely a lot more left we want to share and will be sharing soon!
We have missed it too!!! So so great to get to share more adventures. Thank you for your patience and continuing to support us and watch our videos!! Means so much to us 💛💛
@@DjusLife Well, I used to do "exagerated jaw drops" many many years ago whenever I'm amazed (yeah, quit that now)... This vid's final edit was WORTH the wait!
Ohrid, very simple, they call it the JERUSALEM of the Balkans, the pearl of the Balkans. Correct, the lake is the oldest in Europe and also the deepest. . I am from Macedonia but not from Ohrid. Glad that the two of you enjoyed your stay in our little country and hope to see the Vlogs from the capital Skopje! Cheers!
Good to have you guys back! Love the little religious turtle 🐢😍 365 churches, a different one for everyday of the year perhaps? Fact checking is so tricky when out exploring by yourselves, it’s not always clear🙃 So glad you didn’t drop your phone inside there Yev, I was so nervous watching!😅
Yev has such a steady had that I wasnt nervous at all but now with everyone saying they were and asking if we would have been able to get the phone back I am now realizing it was pretty risky 😳😂 Thankful that nothing happened!
So agree with you. Those are some of our favorites. The lighting at that time and the stillness of the water was absolutely breathtaking. We felt so so blessed to get to see this place like that. Bobby (the boat driver) said that this is the best it gets! So glad you guys enjoyed the vlog - thank you for watching and commenting we really love reading feedback 💛💛
Please don’t call it north Macedonia, the name of the country was changed illegally by a corrupt government and is rejected by majority of the Macedonians in Macedonia and around the world. Never north, only Macedonia! Other than that great video, enjoyed it lots.
Yaaaay, DjusLife is back 🥳 we miss you guys! Really love the drone shots of the lake, especially looking down at the boat. Cringing as Yev sticks his hand into old buildings (don’t know if you’ve seen the Indiana Jones where they do that and there’s disgusting bugs in there 😅) Really love your sequence on the boat, especially the music, so peaceful 💛 Wow, that boardwalk on the edge of the lake 🤩 Crazy how many churches there are! So beautiful! That fortress is so cool, great that you had it to yourself! Your picnic spot is amazing! And those spreads sounds delicious! Amy your so lucky that Yev notices the food on your face 😅 I look back at the footage and then only see I had something in my tooth or smudged makeup or two different earrings 🤣🤣
Hahaha two different earrings that is hilarious 🤣! Yeaaa he saves me from looking disheveled some of the time for sure 😄! I definitely wasnt signing up to stick my hand in. He is way braver when it comes to that stuff. So fun to get to share another amazing place with you all finally!!! Thank you for continuing to support our channel friends!
We're back! Thanks for the warm welcome back :) So glad, I actually don't think ive seen it before, i looked a bit more calm then i actually was in real life haha, glad there was no bugs though! Its 50/50 sometimes we notice, sometimes we don't haha glad we catch it sometimes though, honestly though, we've never noticed anything like that watching your videos :)
Yes so sorry if we offended you. That was not our intention by titling the video with “north” we only used it so the video would be more searchable and more people may see this beautiful amazing country. Definitely not in anyway trying to offend anyone.
Yes. We did not mean any offense at all and apologize for offending you. We used North so that our video would be easier found in search so more people would be able to see your beautiful and amazing country. Again we apologize for any offense that caused. We do hope you enjoyed the video. We absolutely loved our time in Macedonia and met so so many amazingly warm and kind people.
So glad you enjoyed it. The shoes lasted so well almost everyday wear for 8 months and I walked a ton. But sadly they were beyond repair and needed to be replaced 😂
Don’t miss THE FUNNIES at the end and tell us which one made you laugh in the comments below!! And if drone shots are more your thing which one was your favorite??? I loved the top down boat shot!!
I'm watching you since the time you travelled in japan which was sooooo beautiful, do not feel bad if some people are offended because you called them with the name that they signed at,I really like you videos but I'm so much pissed of with some guys who are yelling you at the comments because you call them north Macedonians that's what their name is and if they believe so much that ancient Macedonians have a short of connection with them they are way out of their head ,so to those who are yelling at the comments ancient Macedon was 100% an ancient Greek kingdome and there is no deny on that,and the languege they spoke was an ancient Greek dialect ,the ancient Greek was splitted between dorik which was the dialect the andiwnt Macedonians spoke, Greek and ionic as well as attica dialect and some others...today's north Macedonia are of Slavic origin (bulgars) and they speak a Slavic languege which apparently is Bulgarian
I really love your video, but North Macedonia just screams "cultural appropriation" from every Point you look at it. For example that church is 100% build in 400-500 AD not BC and i dont think its a translation error, but overastimating dates. Furthermore when that church was build Slavs including Macedonians werent even in the Balkans yet. Ohrid and most of the West side of North Macedonia were Illyrian and later on Albanian until they were conquered by Bulgars and Serbs. They were forced to become slavs or die. So either Macedonian are Albanians who were forcefully asimilated or Slavs that came as occupiers. Which means they are not the builders of these buildings nor should they claim things like these. I dont wanna throw dirt on Macedonia but facts: Language is Bulgarian & Albanian Church is Serbian Population is Albanian
So Macedonians come from the moon as I can understan.So Macedonian people are not albanian we respect the albanian you just trying to put hate. Minimum 5 generations for shore as my grandfather told me we been living in this place. Which is why I call my self Macedonian THAT'S the name of the country. Maybe I m mix with Greeks or turks who's known,but you not have I right to tell other people how they feel. For example you are Albanian and I say not you are not you are from Zimbabwe tnx very much.
Congratulations for your national holiday on 2nd August North-Macedonia from your friends in Germany

Glad you liked it!! Thank you! Are you from Ohrid? Its so peaceful there we really loved it :)
My beautiful country 🇲🇰🇲🇰🇲🇰🇲🇰
Your country sure is beautiful! And we are so blessed to be able to get to experience it and meet so many amazing people.
The language and the nation are only MACEDONIAN!

How theyre macedonian wheh 35 percent is albanian and next turkish romans etc are 10 percent
North macedonia is multination country
Check your constitution
Is not only slavic macedonian
Theyre tons of albanian familys they still have lands on paperwork from 1920 from all downtown all way to castle
I know tons of slavic macedonian told us theyre parents were albanians
Ohrid in 1920 was 80 percent albanian and 20 percent turkish
It was 0 percent bullgarians
After ottoman got destroyed they moved all albanians and sent to turkey and took all Bulgarians from east and bought in ohrid and bitolla
Macedonia is to all of people not only
Ohrid had tons os mosques even lot ij downtown ohrid
And saint naum is albanian church
Naum is not macedonian name but albanian name and was albanian orthodox churge same like saint bigorski or in albanian saint mbiguri means church is in top of the hill rock
They burn the church in bigorski 6 years ago beaause it was found lot of evidence that church mess was in albanian language in 19 century
Church got burned and all albanian evidence was vanished
U cant vanish the fact that albanians before balkan 1 war were there 80 percent plus in ohrid bitola skopje kicevo
They proud of fake made 20 century history lol
All albanians and turkish in ohrid now that ohrid is non sllavic city

Learned even more about Ohrid from watching your video even tough we've been there.
This is so amazing to hear! So glad you found our channel, and liked the video! Thank you for commenting and watching. Love that you have been to Ohrid, it is absolutely beautiful, we feel so grateful that we have been able to see it and share it. Hoping it will encourage more people to go visit this beautiful country. Did you get to go out and ride on the water??
@@DjusLife yeah, it is crazy how underrated the country and city is 🤯
Indeed we did, headed op to Sveti Stefan with the boat.
How up to date is your videos with your travels i.e how long after the trip to you post them?
Agreed, one of the biggest blessings of the pandemic was it led us to go to the Balkans which were not our original plans. Kosovo Albania and Macedonia blew us away!! Highly recommend all 3!
As for how behind our videos are it depends. 🤦🏼♀️ we got very far behind when I went to help in the Covid ICUs which was originally going to only be for 3 months but the need continued far beyond that- so we are a few vids behind but almost caught up 👏🏼🤩☺️
@@DjusLife same here. Honestly never even knew that North Macedonia existed until it popped up as one of the open countries in covid. Tried visiting Kosovo, but they didn't want to let us in during covid :/
Oh, wow, well, thank you for helping in Coivd, that could not have been easy. You should maybe make a video on that, I think people would find it very interesting.
Can't wait to watch the rest of your videos. Kee em coming :D
Sadly I don’t think that the hospital would let me bring a camera into the ICU. 😂 But I probably should talk about it a little bit on the channel as it is such a big part of our life. Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement. It is hard but very meaningful work. I’m honored to walk these really hard seasons with these people and their families.
Such a bummer that you couldn’t go to Kosovo. Prizren is really a beautiful city. We were exactly the same, North Macedonia was not on our radar until it popped up as one of the open countries. We went after Albania which was also an amazing stop. 😍
Omg look at that turtle! 😍 it really is a beautiful church, stunning! Pretty cool to see the church printed on their money as well. Seems like they do love their history and are proud of it indeed. The sunset seems to be so beautiful. Your drone shots are just wow, pretty good editing too! Can't wait to visit ourselves one day!
Thanks guys, glad you enjoyed the drone shots and the edit.
I can see why it's called the City of Churches! Ok, that is a cool trick to stick your arm in the little window to get a picture of the fresco but I'd be too afraid to drop my phone accidentally. Would there even be a way to get it back?? The lake is beautiful! And having some local wine on a wooden boat is the best. The views from St. John's Church is amazing!! btw, I have rosemary bush in our backyard...love it!
I know so so so many churches! Imagine a Easter Sunday when the churches filled with people! Wow !
I think it would have been gone for good. 😳 Yev is very very very hard to startle and has very steady hands. Thankfully.
You have a rosemary bush WOW!!! And it thrives that is amazing!!
Hellooo, just search for video about my home town, because i missed it so much, that i found your video. Guys, its amazing, you put so much love into this, and it makes me smile the whole time watching it, bacuase we can see how much interessed and love you put in to make this video :) I am very glad you enjoyed the time in my home town, and you will be back as soon as possible. Greetings from me, be blessed and have a great day. Hope to see you there soon ;)
Wow thank you so much for such an encouraging and kind message!! So glad you enjoyed the video. We absolutely LOVED our time in Macedonia and cannot recommend it enough. Everyone we met was unbelievably kind and we can not wait to go back. God’s abundant blessings on you as well!!
Great video guys ! ❤

@@DjusLife of course sweetheart. Thank you, as well...hugs from Texas. 🤗🤗🤗🙏🕊🕊🕊
YAY, great to see you guys back. 365 churches, that is incredible and they are all so very beautiful. Your boat ride looked fantastic and the views were so very stunning. This city of lights/churches hehe, we would love to visit, as the history is amazing. As always love your bloopers and we can both totally relate to you both, when the words just don't want to come out right..hahaha. Great stuff guys and we can't wait to see the capitol. ONE LOVE
The bloops in this one had us dying laughing 🤣 so so funny. We were having such a great time this day but the bloops were the real deal 🤦🏼♀️ sometimes talking is so hard 🤪🤣
Welcome back! Great drone footage. Can't wait to watch your next stop.
Oh Ann thank you for your alway encouraging words and always watching along and commenting. Means so much to us!
So glad your back!!!
It is so good to be back. We have missed sharing adventures with you all! Thank you Thank you for supporting us! We really appreciate it 💛💛
Djustlife is back baby 😁 congrats on 800 subs guys 😘
I knowwwww it is so so so fun to be back and 800 WOOT WOOT so so honored to have so many amazing people following along and enjoying our videos. It was actually another kara and nate lover that told his friends about us and his friend was number 800! So fun!
@@DjusLife oh really, crazy to think how big they've grown I remember watching them with less then 50k subs
I know back when they did daily. They really are legends in travel vlogging. So glad they did cause they really inspired us to quit our jobs and go! Even post pandemic and all that happened I am still so so so happy we did!
@@DjusLife 100 percent, we were just the silly ones to start a travel page during pandemic 😂
Yeaaaa oops 😬 🤪
Yay! I have missed you guys and your videos. 😀
Aww thank you so much, we're sorry we've been MIA for a bit, but its so nice to make and share a new video again. Theres definitely a lot more left we want to share and will be sharing soon!
We have missed it too!!! So so great to get to share more adventures. Thank you for your patience and continuing to support us and watch our videos!! Means so much to us 💛💛
Wow, that b-roll of the lake and mountains looks like a Mac OSX background 😳😍
Yesss Yev actually edited a photo from this and has it as our iMac background and it looks so so sick!
Thanks Hayden! it really is super picturesque, I really love the thumbnail photo and actually pit it as our desktop background haha
@@DjusLife hahah that’s awesome, I bet it does look sick! Very well done on the editing
Awesome vid! Keep it up guys! :)
Wow thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed it- and thank you for commenting and supporting our channel we really appreciate it!!
Whooah, now up to 800! Cool! The B-rolls on this one is just... (imitates Yev's jawdrop)
Yesss Yev’s jaw drop. The best! Thank you for the 800 friend!! So glad the drone captured the beauty of this place!
@@DjusLife Well, I used to do "exagerated jaw drops" many many years ago whenever I'm amazed (yeah, quit that now)... This vid's final edit was WORTH the wait!
So glad to hear that! Some views are worth the dramatic reaction 🤣
Ohrid, very simple, they call it the JERUSALEM of the Balkans, the pearl of the Balkans. Correct, the lake is the oldest in Europe and also the deepest. . I am from Macedonia but not from Ohrid. Glad that the two of you enjoyed your stay in our little country and hope to see the Vlogs from the capital Skopje!
Cheers!
Yesssss editing it now!! Your country was such a delight to have the privilege to travel in. Absolutely beautiful and wonderful people!
Good to have you guys back!
Love the little religious turtle 🐢😍 365 churches, a different one for everyday of the year perhaps?
Fact checking is so tricky when out exploring by yourselves, it’s not always clear🙃
So glad you didn’t drop your phone inside there Yev, I was so nervous watching!😅
Yev has such a steady had that I wasnt nervous at all but now with everyone saying they were and asking if we would have been able to get the phone back I am now realizing it was pretty risky 😳😂 Thankful that nothing happened!
Beautiful footage! 💙 loved the vlog 😍
The drone shot at 12:52 was breathtaking! And I loved the shot circling the boat after that too 😍
So agree with you. Those are some of our favorites. The lighting at that time and the stillness of the water was absolutely breathtaking. We felt so so blessed to get to see this place like that. Bobby (the boat driver) said that this is the best it gets! So glad you guys enjoyed the vlog - thank you for watching and commenting we really love reading feedback 💛💛
Best drone footage yet. Loved it
Totally agree!! The top down boat shot and the stunning nature!!! God definitely did some beautiful work with that lake!!
Have you been to skhor its in ohrid i live next to skhor my uncle has a garage there
No we didnt get a chance to go. Just Ohrid and the capital. We do hope to get to go back and explore more of Macedonia. Such a wonderful country!
Love the video..just one thing... When you mention the people always say Macedonian without North
So glad you enjoyed the video! Yes that is what we learned when we were there that they prefer to be called Macedonian.
Please don’t call it north Macedonia, the name of the country was changed illegally by a corrupt government and is rejected by majority of the Macedonians in Macedonia and around the world. Never north, only Macedonia! Other than that great video, enjoyed it lots.
So cool!
It really is a cool place! Thanks for watching and supporting our cannel :)
Yaaaay, DjusLife is back 🥳 we miss you guys!
Really love the drone shots of the lake, especially looking down at the boat.
Cringing as Yev sticks his hand into old buildings (don’t know if you’ve seen the Indiana Jones where they do that and there’s disgusting bugs in there 😅)
Really love your sequence on the boat, especially the music, so peaceful 💛
Wow, that boardwalk on the edge of the lake 🤩
Crazy how many churches there are! So beautiful!
That fortress is so cool, great that you had it to yourself! Your picnic spot is amazing! And those spreads sounds delicious!
Amy your so lucky that Yev notices the food on your face 😅 I look back at the footage and then only see I had something in my tooth or smudged makeup or two different earrings 🤣🤣
Hahaha two different earrings that is hilarious 🤣! Yeaaa he saves me from looking disheveled some of the time for sure 😄!
I definitely wasnt signing up to stick my hand in. He is way braver when it comes to that stuff. So fun to get to share another amazing place with you all finally!!! Thank you for continuing to support our channel friends!
We're back! Thanks for the warm welcome back :) So glad, I actually don't think ive seen it before, i looked a bit more calm then i actually was in real life haha, glad there was no bugs though! Its 50/50 sometimes we notice, sometimes we don't haha glad we catch it sometimes though, honestly though, we've never noticed anything like that watching your videos :)
It's A.D., not B.C. sounds like someone messed up the translation.
Yeah Just a bit 🤣 we thought it was funny. What an amazing place. Our tour guide in the next vlogs name is Zoran. He was wonderful!
name is REPUBLIC of MACEDONIA , and is MACEDONIAN language , not " north" Macedonian !
Yes so sorry if we offended you. That was not our intention by titling the video with “north” we only used it so the video would be more searchable and more people may see this beautiful amazing country. Definitely not in anyway trying to offend anyone.
@@DjusLife I now , no problem !
It's not North Macedonian and North Macedonias, it's Macedonian language and Macedonians
Yes. We did not mean any offense at all and apologize for offending you. We used North so that our video would be easier found in search so more people would be able to see your beautiful and amazing country. Again we apologize for any offense that caused. We do hope you enjoyed the video. We absolutely loved our time in Macedonia and met so so many amazingly warm and kind people.
Just watched this, really interesting and looked beautiful, hope you fixed the hole in your shoe 👞 😀
So glad you enjoyed it. The shoes lasted so well almost everyday wear for 8 months and I walked a ton. But sadly they were beyond repair and needed to be replaced 😂
Don’t miss THE FUNNIES at the end and tell us which one made you laugh in the comments below!!
And if drone shots are more your thing which one was your favorite???
I loved the top down boat shot!!
I'm watching you since the time you travelled in japan which was sooooo beautiful, do not feel bad if some people are offended because you called them with the name that they signed at,I really like you videos but I'm so much pissed of with some guys who are yelling you at the comments because you call them north Macedonians
that's what their name is and if they believe so much that ancient Macedonians have a short of connection with them they are way out of their head ,so to those who are yelling at the comments ancient Macedon was 100% an ancient Greek kingdome and there is no deny on that,and the languege they spoke was an ancient Greek dialect ,the ancient Greek was splitted between dorik which was the dialect the andiwnt Macedonians spoke, Greek and ionic as well as attica dialect and some others...today's north Macedonia are of Slavic origin (bulgars) and they speak a Slavic languege which apparently is Bulgarian
Appreciate your support! Wow since Japan Thank YOU!
OMG I absolutely HATE Rosemary. I hate it so much 😂 🤮 Fun video guys!
Wait what??? WHAT!! WHAT!!! Hating rosemary is possible?? What herbs do you like???
Don’t worry we will eat all the rosemary for you! Happily!
@@DjusLife I’d say basil is probably my favorite. Cilantro is up there especially in Mexican food 😋
Ok ok 👌🏼 as long as there are a
Some you love 😂!!!!! Basil cilantro a greats!
Супер влог 🙋♂️ .... Но,луѓето на 8'10'' зборуваат МАКЕДОНСКИ ЈАЗИК...
🇲🇰
I really love your video, but North Macedonia just screams "cultural appropriation" from every Point you look at it.
For example that church is 100% build in 400-500 AD not BC and i dont think its a translation error, but overastimating dates. Furthermore when that church was build Slavs including Macedonians werent even in the Balkans yet.
Ohrid and most of the West side of North Macedonia were Illyrian and later on Albanian until they were conquered by Bulgars and Serbs. They were forced to become slavs or die.
So either Macedonian are Albanians who were forcefully asimilated or Slavs that came as occupiers. Which means they are not the builders of these buildings nor should they claim things like these.
I dont wanna throw dirt on Macedonia but facts:
Language is Bulgarian & Albanian
Church is Serbian
Population is Albanian
So Macedonians come from the moon as I can understan.So Macedonian people are not albanian we respect the albanian you just trying to put hate. Minimum 5 generations for shore as my grandfather told me we been living in this place. Which is why I call my self Macedonian THAT'S the name of the country. Maybe I m mix with Greeks or turks who's known,but you not have I right to tell other people how they feel. For example you are Albanian and I say not you are not you are from Zimbabwe tnx very much.
