More Adventures!

The sun shone on our last day - not an umbrella in sight. We spent our last hours walking around the old town, touring in the tourist trolley bus, popping inside the Cathedral of St. Nicholas before grabbing a bite to eat at the market.

The bus trip to Zagreb was certainly not boring. It's only about 140 km from Ljubljana to Zagreb so not a long trip. The coach was comfortable, the scenery lovely, the company great 😉 ... and then we pulled into a service centre very close to the border between Slovenia and Croatia. Police got on and started checking everyone's passport or other ID. They left with a young man handcuffed with his hands behind his back. We have no idea what that was all about.

Zagreb is very close to the border where we crossed (about 32km I think) and we hadn't travelled far when the traffic became very congested. It's a much larger city than Ljubljana. We passed through suburbs which were obviously established during the communist era. There were some much newer buildings, but among the many old buildings there's a very modern looking sports arena. Once we arrived at the bus station we had a short taxi ride to our apartment. The location is perfect; only about 50m to the main town square. We haven't explored yet, that begins tomorrow, but I took a quick snap as we left the apartment and then passed through the square.Lue lisää
