Hotel Holiday Zagreb

... the Plitvice Lakes. So we arrived in Zagreb, saw the "best" part of the city during our ten minute walk to a hostel and spent a night there. (The &#8220;best&#8221; part of the city was just the main square area with a bunch of locals- mostly junior high and high school kids- and a few blocks of cafes off to the side of the square.) <br><br>Overall, Zagreb was kind of weird to me because there wasn&#8217;t hardly anything to do it seemed. Everything except cafes were ...

... There we hung out on the very comfortable couches with our wireless internet, great food and full bar! (all for free :P) Afterwards we said our goodbyes, and I hopped on my plane to Budapest.<br><br>I will skip over my flight and wait in Budapest airport since that mainly involved me sleeping! <br><br> <br><br>After arriving in Zagreb, I met Kristina and Patrick at the Glavni Kolodvor (main bus station ...

I got the 3rd degree at the border between hungary &amp; croatia. Cos I was leaving the Schengen area (the part of Europe with no border controls) I was finally getting a stamp. But man it took a while to get it!! The guy took my passport, then went to get the machine to scan it, then wanted to know if I was going to croatia for business I said no, I'm on holidays, he asked where I&#8217;d been &amp; I was like I&#8217;ve been at uni in Ireland, so he wanted to see my ...

The rain had let down a little but I sure am glad I decided to head out yesterday and discover the city instead of staying in the hotel and resting after a long 48 hours. I had a great time yesterday. This morning after I left the hotel, I went to the train station to store my pack in one of the lockers and they were all full!! What's up with that? I waited a few minutes, someone came along, removed her stuff and I ...

... scenic Mirogoj cemetary, the intricate roof of St Mark's Church, and the Zagreb City Museum. We went to the Medvedgrad pub for dinner where I tasted the local beer, and ate chicken filled with ham and cheese served with potato croquettes. As Goran and I found that we had a common love of food, you will soon see that I've spent most of these last few days eating local specialties - all of them equally delicious! We met early on ...

... of luggage on my shoulders, we reached out destination, only to find out that we needed reservations and the best we could do is find a spot on the common room floor, nice!! The crowd is nice though. For instance there is this Australian (looks perfectly normal) who is fascinated with "man's connection to spirituality). He convinced us to head to Sarejevo. He was headed there to look for people inspired by the Virgin Mary, who is supposedly spotted there quite often. He told me ...

Unraveling Zagreb By Nicholas J. Klenske As Featured at www.TransitionsAbroad.com Zagreb isn't known for its first impressions. Entering the airport is like walking into a dense London fog as "No Smoking" has yet to enter the Croatian vocabulary. The drive from the airport is a trek through communist architecture that favors concrete and graffiti. And at the city's edge a rusted blue shell of what possibly ...

... is perfect. Our plan tonight is to go through Diocletian's Palace, then eat at Fife, a cafe recommended by our landlady. The palace was started in 295 A.D. and fnished ten years later. Were heading out to Skadin and the Krk National park tomorrow. Zbogom (good bye). Dennis wants to thank everyone tuning in and says he will have a cold one for you tonight!!. Hey, no naked Germans yet, except us two.

... the country, we saw a few cars from florida, new jersey, and new york. so if you are missing a car, it might be in albania! it was certainly a sobering experience visiting albania, makes me appreciate everzthing that i take for granted. we stayed in durres, which is a beautiful coastal town. our hotel was right on the beach with a nice pool. we only stayed the night, but i dipped my toes in the adriatic ...

... in the middle of nowhere. Thankfully we found a bus, that stopped just in front os us so we were able to get into crowded machine. The dinner wasn`t too tasty but at least we had something to eat. During the evening prayer brother Alois told everyone that the next Taize Youth meeting is going to happen in Geneva, Switzerland. Yay!!!!!!! During evening animators meeting at our parish I found ut that one of the Geman guys, Peter, speaks Polish very well ...
