Zagreb 1

On Friday we left Ljubljana pretty early in the morning to take a two hour train ride to Zagreb. In our car were a huge group of guys who were returning from Switzerland and the Croatia-Germany game, fully decked out in jerseys and in a singing mood. It was pretty cool.

We had actually heard that Zagreb wasnt that cool and this was confirmed by a book which said that days in Croatia are best spent on the coast. But that didn't stop us from giving the city a good 20 hour visit. Included in our visit were amazing fornetti pizza balls, the local beer Ozujsko which unfortunately tastes like an American light beer, a large Cathedral, Ben Jelacic square where Bob Dylan was supposed to be playing, some really cool outdoor venues where we watched soccer, an underground mall of bars where we watched more soccer, and a speculative tram ride east to the end of a line just to see what was out there. Nothing.

And as we were calling it a night before a super early train ride to Budapest, our two Australian roommates went off about hating Budapest because all of their valuables were stolen there. Thanks for your input.

Anyway, Zagreb was actually really entertaining and now we are in The Loft in Budapest - the sweetest hostel ever. Will write soon
