Croatia, Zagreb, walkabout 31st October 2025

Dario picked us up at Zagreb airport and took us to Oasis apartments. He pointed out a good place for dinner and we went. I had the tempura prawns and Michael had a large burger, both accompanied by Pan beers, Michael had a chocolate desert and the above beer as well. Both types of beers were great.

The Oasis apartments, very simple but hot water showers and great air-conditioning so all good.

In the morning we got up and headed for the town, we found a place for breakfast. They did not understand us at all except for the cappuccino which they smiled and produced the best one yet in Croatia accompanied by a croissant type cake, delicious.

The owner then fetched the chef that spoke a little English and we described an omelette. This is what Michael got. It was really good.

We carried on our walk and found thousands of flowers for all saints day which is being celebrated today in Zagreb.

This is the area of Zagreb we were walking through and there are so many parks and areas for kids, every form of pitch for sport. Swimming, basketball, football, swings and general trails.

We walked further and visited 2 churches in the area.

We walked to a park and had the best orange juice.

We walked back and packed our stuff. Dario took us back to the airport only to find that one of us was confirmed on the flight back to CT but the other one was not - so would we mind going Turkish airways should noone cancel their flight? They sweetened the deal with a meal voucher but it became unnecessary as someone did cancel. So I am now sitting in Doha on our final leg of the trip typing my blog.
