Lovely B&B, breakfast was great. Meat and cheese, of course, and a local specialty - strukli. Yummers. Again forgot to take a picture, hopefully will have it again tomorrow. A couple cups of coffee, and I am off to explore the city. Zagreb Tourist Board has an awesome 'Step by step' publication outlining all the tourists stops. And signs around town pointing you in the right direction.
Spent the morning exploring the upper town.

The afternoon walked through the lower town. Lots of parks. Eight in an arc making up "Lenuci's Horseshoe". Saw the King Tomislav monument, the main railway station, the art pavilion, Hotel Esplanade, Croatian State Archives and the Croatian National Theatre.
Time for dinner.
Janet, they call them fried potatoes.
Tonight pulled pork sandwich with tomato jam, aioli and creme fraiche.
Jack finally arrived after his delay, thank you Air Canada. Out for a few beers.
That sandwich looks amazing - and, even though it's only 9am here, I'm could go for one! Thanks for the answer on the fries/chips question!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like an amazing city - the market looks fabulous and I love the tile on the church roof! Wow!! Glad you saw the sights - and that Jack arrived safe and sound, albeit late and perhaps grumpy??? LOL
Have fun on the bike tour :)
