A day in the sun

Today’s plan was to hit a couple of museums… but when the weather turns on pure sunshine and blue skies, you don’t waste that indoors. ☀️☀️☀️ So, running around Zagreb again like an overexcited tourist was absolutely on the cards.

I revisited a bunch of spots from yesterday’s walking tour, but this time everything looked extra glorious under the bright light. Today, though, I also spent plenty of time in Kaptol, strolling through its charming streets and parks. After that, I headed back to the Lotrscak Tower to catch the twelve o’clock cannon blast - again. And it still made me jump. Some things never change. 🤣🤣🤣

From there, I wandered through the Tunnel Gric, which was a fun little detour. Then I made my way down towards the Main Square… where I somehow ended up in the middle of an anti-fascist protest. At least, I think that’s what it was - hard to be sure when you can’t understand a single shouted word. 😅

After escaping the crowd, I actually went back to the Lotrscak Tower - this time to climb up it. And honestly? Absolutely worth it. The view from the top of the 30-metre tower was fantastic, especially with the city glowing under the late-afternoon sun. 🤩

As the day turned to night, I wrapped things up by heading to a local pub to watch the Premier League games. It was here that I got a bit of a surprise: people were smoking inside. Definitely not something I’m used to back home, but it certainly added to the atmosphere.

Even though the smoke made my hoodie stink, it was the perfect end to a very unplanned, very lovely day in the sun. Just another load of washing for future me. 🤪🤪🤪Read more
