    Travelled to Zagreb this morning (about 2.5 hours by train). Nestled below Mt Medvednica, Croatia’s thriving capital is an exciting winter destination. A month-long Advent festival transforms the city into an illuminated winter wonderland, complete with acres of fairy-lights, huge Christmas trees, nativity scenes, temporary ice rinks, mulled wine stalls and igloo-shaped rakija (a potent local drop) bars. The Christmas market here is considered among the best in Europe. Arrived, dumped our bags and we were back out walking the streets. Maare took us to a traditional lunch and then an expert gave us a walking tour. We finished with a beautiful dinner at a very special restaurant.
