Days 9 & 10 – With a name like Zagreb you’d think we were behind the iron curtain . . .

From Calais we’ve only seen one other GB MOHO. By chance we parked up alongside at an Austrian services. Since then zilch. Does that mean we’ve gone AWAL?

This trip we travel away from Dalmatia. Give the Adriatic the cold shoulder. Maybe give it a second chance – when we eventually head north. Give it time to warm up a little. So, we head east. Belgrade calling us. Should be there on Good Friday. My birthday. Unfortunately that’s not a moveable feast day. Strike one. No, strike sixty-eight!

With Belgrade a long way off we decide not to rush. What’s the rush anyway? Book another two-nighter. Zagreb Kamp just shy of 11K outside of the city. Surprisingly, our immediate neighbours on site are not German.

On this occasion we speak the same language . .

Scoot is staying tucked up and cosy. No chance of his first run out until the temperature creeps over 20C. Two return train tickets cost us less than a couple of Costa cappuccinos

The twenty-five minute walk to the station takes us twenty five minutes . . .
They spend their money on the trains – not the stations

When you’ve done one city, you’ve done them all. Right? And when you’ve done a load more than one, well? What’s the point? Wrong! Zagreb is a treat we weren’t expecting. No prep prep’d as usual. So it’s a big bonus. Upper and lower old town sewn seamlessly together. Masses of huge elegant buildings on one hand; charming ancient houses and back streets on the other; acres of flowered green spaces keep the balance perfectly.

In its heyday it must have been a jewel

Not the prettiest of botanical Gardens . . .

Perhaps a bit too early to show it’s full glory – some corners pretty pretty . . .

  1. Many happy returns Brian – hope you have really enjoyable day! 68 – if only I was that again …
    Only going to be 19C at Chalford today, but should be more over the weekend!
