The EU had been skimping us on passport stamps so it was nice to venture to Croatia, where customs gave our passports a workout and we got to exchange our money for a new currency, the kuna.
Zagreb is Croatia's capital and biggest city, a bustling departure from tranquil Ljubljana and a nice change of scenery. The weather was sticky and hot, so we were thankful our Old Town hostel had AC. The hostel also had a friendly house dog, an adorable black lab mix named Nika, who liked to hide under our bed.
We found the coffee to be a bit more expensive than our last few stops, but the beer was cheaper so we called it a toss up.
Our favorite Zagreb moments:
- Visiting the Museum of Broken Relationships, a quirky, sometimes-funny, sometimes-sad, thought provoking collection of momentos and stories from failed couples. It was a good reminder to keep cherishing one another.
- Sipping espressos on popular Tkalciceva Street while taking in the city's fantastic cafe culture.
- Splurging on a fancy meal at Trilogija, an intimate restaurant in Upper Town where the menu changes daily based on fresh market offerings. Our meal: lemon trout, truffle risotto, and Croatian wines.
Next stop: Plitvice Lakes, Croatia
