Zagreb, Croatia
Ljubljana to Zagreb is nothing but a train ride, although I suppose one could do it by bus or fly. No need. We have Eurail passes. The border crossing in Zagreb results in a train stop and passport review by border agents. We are fortunate enough to share our train compartment with 3 college age girls on holiday after attending a Bible study camp in Austria. They were all well traveled and alerted us to the procedures. Passport stamps and all is good & we are on our way. They are headed to Plitvice the next day & maybe we'll meet up.
The International Hotel was a 10 minute walk from the train station. Modern, 2 bedrooms, nice bathtub & shower. Air conditioning. Without ethnic distinction, it was nonetheless a comfortable stop for the evening.
Dropped our bags & out to explore in the evening. Bailey bought a hat & next stop: Kung Fu Panda 2. It was a cute movie, but our snacks were limited to popcorn. This is not Vienna.
Ha, the square out front of the main Train Station in Zagreb was impressive. Surprisingly empty, but has much potential!
ReplyDeleteA 10 minute walk from the central station lands you in Zagreb's main shopping district -- if I remember correctly -- which has a good number of sprawling outdoor cafe's. Great for taking a day to journal, read, pray, whatever your chill-out fancy.
Zagreb also boasts the world's only museum celebrating Break-Ups ... horrible, vengeful, creative Break-Ups. It's a two thumbs up from this trio!
