Zagreb, is a lovely capital, touristy city with many steps to the scenic historic top, but a funicular to get you there. Being the capital, it also has lovely historic government buildings and not so many tour groups either. A lovely fruit/veg market, I pick up fresh figs and lovely ripe pears. We find beautiful olive oils on our trip but sadly can’t haul it back. But the other market here also has huge hams (tastings everywhere), honeys and other tempting comestibles.
The second night we go to the resto recommended in our guide owned by a famous Croatian soccer player. We book at 6pm and there is no one there. By the time we leave the place is jumping, full of happy diners. Excellent food, wine and service here. And large groups of sporty looking men..
We have skipped hotel breakfasts, they are vast, and unfortunately for once we have no coffee maker in our room, unusual. But we have found the fanstastic bakery down the road for croissants and pastries and coffee, so Ted does his morning run.
It is a nice day to leave, the sun is out, sort of, and it’s an easy 2 block walk to our car and on our way out of town on the big good roads.
