If I am honest, Zagreb was my least favorite stop from the Balkan tour. Although that might not be entirely fair. I arrived there feeling absolutely miserable from food posining and spent my first day there just sleeping. The second I spent mosty in a daze, still recovering. Also, the weather was really bad. It rained and it was cold, for which I did not bring the right clothes at all (lesson learned). So we spent most of our time in Zagreb wondering around and drinking tea. Which was not bad at all.
Zagreb is quite a nice city, with many restaurants and lunch rooms, but it is quite similar to any big city in Europe. It does not really have the vacation vibe (perhaps the lack of sun contributed to that). Our big plan while being in Zagreb was to visit the Plitvice lake park. This is an absolutely amazing nature park (judging from the pictures) where you can walk around the beautiful waterfalls and lakes. But due to the heavy rainfall we could not go. We were super bummed!
So instead of going to the lake park we had another day of stroling around and drinking tea. By the afternoon we had the feeling we saw the whole city (and yes, that catherdral tower is fake indeed) and we were pretty sick and tired of the gloomy weather, so we decided to go to the cinema. It was maybe not the most spectacular way to pass the last evening of our trip, but it was surely very relaxing and fun (and really cheap by the way).
On the last day of our trip we took a small transfer bus to Slovenia because we would fly from there. We spent our last afternoon in Ljubljana before taking another one of these transfer busses to the airport. These busses are really connvenient. We got to choose what time we wanted to leave and from which place we wanted to be picked up, so we could maximize our time in Ljubljana. We were just there for a couple of hours , and the weather was still bad, so we were not able to do a whole lot. But this small citytrip was still a nice end of our vacation.
What a lovely trip it was! We did and saw so much in these 11 days, even with our pretty lazy food and drinks schedule. On to the next amazing location!
