Despite the clearly visible clouds in the background, which led to the first powerful showers above the sea, the sky above Campsite Sikia and the village of Kato Gazea were hardly affected.

After our tour through trough the center of Kastraki on the last evening of our stay at Camping Vrachos, we wanted to go up to the rock-pin on the outskirts, which from a distance is not looking very spectacular.

The lower Rems Valley between Waiblingen and the mouth of the Rems into the Neckar next Remseck was our present destination, because Lower Rems Valley is one of the very few natural river sections that still exist in the region.

Our walks together with Heidi and Rainer brought us to the Neckar too, where Rainer points to the various restoration project leading to the first successes, not without justifiable pride,  which also reflects in the resettlement of different bird species.

Get ready and prepare yourself, because a musical cross-over spectacle is waiting for you, which can not be enjoyed every day, so the first information page of the International Street Music Festival in Ludwigsburg began.

In the meantime, we have been working on the project for the development of camper tourism on the Balkans for 3 years, time to make some adjustments and changes to the caravan in Germany.

With our camper guests, we had, next to the visit of the monastery Sveti Naum, passed the shore of the spring lake next to Lake Ohrid.

The Ohrid Lake is rightly considered to be one of the last natural refuges of the Balkans, so it is certainly understandable that it is also one of the destinations of our camper-cultural journey.

Early the next morning we made our way to the top of the rocks above the village of Kastraki, which is a famous destination for climbers because of its level of difficulty (needle in the center of the picture).

From Campsite Vrachos, the village center of Kastraki is reachable within a few minutes walk, where we had moved and stopped during our Cultural camper-tour to visit the monasteries.

The love for two-wheelers is huge in Greece, so no wonder that the visitors stream to the fairground at radio tower when the SMF Moto Show calls.

At the end of our partwise guided camper-culture trip we had arranged another meeting with our guests on Sithonia for two days, Kalamitsi was the destination.

Bright blue skies and then the lost fight against our own laziness of self-cooking, had brought us again to the waterfront of Perea, where we started a small walk on the shore.

From the Albanian side the Vermosh is quite difficult to reach, despite the now completely asphalted road, the serpentines are so strong.

Our first tour into the Cem valley had already led to euphoric enthusiasm, so no wonder that we planned another trip together with our camper guests in the direction of Tamara passing Cem valley.

Once again, we wanted to take a day trip to Thessalonica, this time Heidi and Rainer were our companions, which are, next to the ancient Roman buildings being interested in the infrastructure of Thessalonica, in particular the broad and long developed promenade for cyclists and pedestrians.

Despite the stormy wind, the warm sunrays of the afternoon sun forced us to take a short walk along the promenade of Perea.

After an extensive visit of the ruins of the ancient Roman city Herakleia Lynkestis on Via Egnatia, now called Bitola, we crossed the border to Greece without any significant delays.

Our journey of discovery should today take us from Camping Rino in Struga along the road from Ohrid to the monastery Sveti Naum. Every now and then we made short stops to get down to the lake shore.

Several times we had explored the hiking trails in the Galicica National Park between Ohrid Lake and Prespa Lake, which a few years ago were established with the help of the KfW Banking Group from Germany.
