Day 15 Zagreb

We are both really pleased we made this stop a 1 nighter. Zagreb seemed a bit disappointing after such beautiful cities previously. It is probably wrong of us to try and compare but it felt like in 1 afternoon and evening we had seen it all, unlike Budapest where 1 day just doesn’t cover it. We’re all citied out, I think, and everyone is really looking forward to tomorrow when we leave for 5 nights on Lake Bled in Slovenia followed by 6 nts on the Istrian coast of Croatia and then 7nts at an Italian beach resort north of Venice. Yes, we know, we are lucky!

From the pics you will see that Lewis was not the only Brit to beat Ferrari in Hungary as we beat the F1 team to the tolls (shame on you – those who are thinking ambulance jokes).

We told the girls that the bench was a statue of Grandad, hence the loving looks – creeps!

Funny of the day came from yours truly when I was reading the rules of Croatian roads to Stu and wasn’t concentrating and told him ‘you need 2 safety triangles, your dipped headlights on at all times and crash helmets for the driver and any passengers’. Think I may have wandered into the motorcycle section although Stu’s face was a picture. One princess slams his cooking one day and then another his driving the next!

FOD: The necktie was invented in Croatia and is locally known as "cravat".
