PHOTO TIME!!!
I dont have time to write a full entry, but I just wanted to let you know that I have put 2 photos on here...hope you like them....I think they are beautiful! Amor ...
Zagreb...most boring capital ever
The most exciting thing that has happened since we left Budapest was the border crossing into Croatia. Tightest security yet. First, a very serious Hungarian official scrutinized our passports for a very long time before begrudgingly stamping them. (not ...
Zagreb …ZZZZZzzzzzzz….
... Border control checked our passports no less than 5 times one after the other (Hungary passport control and then customs, Croatia passport control (X 2)and then customs). Our first European stamp in our passport via Croatian customs. Journey turned into ...
Zagreb and other thoughts
... the centre of the city, and was generally acosted by some fine babes, which was fine by me ... they sure are aggressive lot here! Croatia (what I have seen so far) strikes me as quite similar to New Zealand ... I can see why a lot of Croatians have moved ...
Interrupted and Lost in Zagreb
We caught the train from Ljubljana to Zagreb. We were checked by border control officals leaving Slovenia. Mark then decided to go to the toilet for some bowel movements. Next thing is happening is the train had stopped and there is banging on the toilet. ...
Restless
... their bus to Zagreb, and we passed a pleasant 7 hours squished into the back row chatting to a couple of Californians. Zagreb, the capital, is a classic example of a beautiful thing in need of paint. The architecture could be stunning if colour and ...
Indecent Proposal
... knight in shining armour, and after he had finished laughing he happily agreed to host us again. We decided to check out Zagreb's beach, which turned out to be an artificial rowing lake with some stones beside it. There was some metal bars near it ...
Zagreb Aug 29-Sept 1
... city of Zagreb itself, it wasn't that noteworthy for me. It is much more modern and developed than most of the Balkan areas. Croatia really seems to have their act together on a relative basis and I would expect them to continue to catch up with Western ...
Arriving in Zagreb, Croatia
Arrived in Zagreb after about 33 hours of travel and being in transit. Endured nearly 7 hours transit in Frankfurt. Was transferred to the hotel which was very elegant and the room and meals were great. Definitely worth it's 5 star ...
Blato
Sorry I havnt writen for a while people...Ill just skip to the good stuff. From Blato we all went to Split on a ferri, from Split(this is all in the same day) we went to Italy on this huge boat thingy, it was an overnight trip, we slept in a cabin. It ...
It begins...
... . It didnt really seem to have anything original and was moreso a mix of all the cultures around it. Then again, Croatia isn’t exactly known for its capital, moreso its scenic adriatric coast. The people here are confidence-destroyingly beautiful. ...
June 12 and 13, Zagreb and Plitvice Lake
... , the current political situation in the country, corruption (which happens in the high schools and universities too),and gay lives in Croatia, which is by law legal but still people have quite a bit stigma against it. For example, the Gay-Pride parade ...
Stuck in Zagreb
... . But the best part was watching the sun come up over little Croatian towns, and that definetely made up for it. Once we arrived in Zagreb we tried to get our seats for our 7:00 train that we paid for. Once we got there we were told that there were no ...
Touring around Zagreb
Did a city tour after breakfast, first on the bus then a walking tour around the old and new town. Free time after the tour and I joined two American ladies for coffee at a lovely cafe in the main square of the city. Lovely parks to walk through ...
Anthem of the Angels
... for decades, Plitvice does have some dubious history - on Easter Sunday 1991, it was where the first fighting between Croatia and Yugoslavia took place, and also claimed the war's first casualty, Josip Jovic, a park policeman. There actually was ...
Zagreb: Part II
... overnight bus to Dubrovnik. That pretty much meant jumping from restaurant to park to ice cream shop to park to coffee house to park. Needless to say, I was getting a bit bored with Zagreb and was very happy when 7:30 rolled ...
Best sports bars East O' the Rhine
... TV's and, of course, Kebap. In fact, us Ugly "Americans" ate at the same place TWICE! We arrived into Zagreb from Slovenia and got the full border shakedown on arrival. We got checked twice (leaving Slovenia and arriving in Croatia) and when ...
Now things start getting tragic...
Zagreb itself is a small, jewel of a city. Its central park reminds me of the crescent park of Krakow, very green, verdant gardens alongside a quiet, yet lively urban area. Stayed at the University Hostel, very clean, good people staff the place. Nice pub ...
Zagreb
... , and went to zagreb with him.. funny dude with some funny stories about hippie sweedes and getting gased on night trains in croatia.. pretty much your average man.. haha so we figured getting a room in zagreb would be like any other place.. just show ...

zagreb
i hit up zagreb for a day after belgrade, finally found a hostel after bein turned away twice to find a big black lad bangin some croatian chick in the dorm. it was only a 3 bedder and i assume he had been there a while and hes obviously met a few locals. ...
An unexpected gem
Nobody seems to like Zagreb. Most people who come to Croatia skip it in favour of beach holidays, and we've had a few second-hand accounts from friends of people we meet who say it wasn't any good. We don't know why, as we had a really good time! The ...
Zagreb: Part I
... kuna for the key deposit that the 500 kuna (~100) I withdrew from the ATM was not going to last very long. Apparently Croatia is not quite as cheap as I’d been led to believe. A quick trip to the tourist information office later, I was ...
best hostel ever!
i have everett and kalin to thank for recommending this awesome hostel (Hostel Lika)... only having one day in Zagreb was unfortunate... but i got a job offer at the hostel, so who knows, i might be back... i got in mid afternoon after a long nite train ...
The last new city in europe
... and wrote out their map. It was opf course back beyond the bus station so I walked back and further into the wilds of Zagreb. I reached the hostel with only one little problem, they were closed for the winter. This was a great sight after the long walk ...
Zagreb for Relaxation
We climb up the four or five floors to my in-laws, Marija's sister Lela falls off her feet when she sees us, and after a long shower we feel our trip has ended. The remaining 7-8 hundred km to Skopje will be slept in a first class compartment of a Vagon ...
