Plitvice Lakes

A sunny morning in Zagreb here with nothing to do but explore the town. On Tuesday, I had a pretty lazy day and just ventured out into the town centre for a bite to eat and to look at some of the buildings. The town itself is pretty small and a few hours of discovery means you can get a lot done.

In the evening, I played backgammon and ate some dinner with a fellow hosteller.

Yesterday, I went on a minibus to Plitvice Lakes with a group of 6 lovely people from various hostels. The chauffeur was hilarious and seemed to have almost every type of music, from Elvis to Dr Dre, Shaggy to Gabrielle. As a group we explored the beautiful waterfalls and turquoise lakes togethe, meandering through the forests and catching the boats from one side to another.

In the evening, we decided to meet up again for some dinner and drinks. There's a really nice restaurant here that has its own brewery. I sampled the goulash. Later in the evening, I got to drinking rakia, which is the local alcohol here. Its basically like a really strong brandy with various flavours.

Today, after the storms of yesterday, the sun is shining and I will take the opportunity to stroll about and take some photos of Zagreb.

Hope all is well!
