Day 25 – Zagreb

Zagreb is quite small as capitals go so today was quite relaxed and slow-paced – a bit like Croatia really. We got up and had breakfast at the hotel before heading off into town.

Zagreb centre is split into two areas, upper and lower. The upper is older and contains most of the sights while the lower is much more modern and contains most of the restaurants, shops and businesses.

First we went to the cathedral which was unfortunately covered in scaffolding. We also saw another couple of churches and the government buildings before getting a drink in a quirky little Tolkein themed bar. A little out of place in Croatia we thought!

This seemed to complete our tour of Zagreb´s sights except for the museums which were either not of interest or not in budget.

We spent the rest of the day walking around, sitting in the park, having an ice cream and using the free internet at the hotel.

Dinner was delicious at a pasta restaurant. We had gnocchi (mine was with mushroom, salmon, shrimps and a tomato and brandy sauce) which has to be a candidate for best meal on the holiday so far. And it was only 49 Kuna (less than 5 pounds)!

We went back to the hotel to sleep before our early start tomorrow.
