After our stay in Slovenia having been such a pleasant surprise we were sad but excited to move on to Croatia. I have been here a couple of times before and had great memories of island hopping from beautiful seaside town to seaside town, so was excited to explore some new places with Matt, Griff and Wilf. We started at a sweet little campsite with a lovely pool close to Zagreb, spending a day trying to keep cool in the next heatwave that was taking over Europe, followed by a day exploring Croatia’s capital city.

Zagreb is a bustling and quite modern feeling place, which was a bit of a culture shock after our time in laid back Slovenia. We had a nice walk around the town and explored some of the beautiful parks and green spaces they also had dotted around the city. Sadly we weren’t able to go into the Botanic Gardens as dogs weren’t allowed, but the other parks were still lovely to wander through, and the old town had some really beautiful buildings. Matt also found a place for a much-needed haircut (to match his short beard!) so Griff, Wilf and I found a nice café to people watch from while we waited. Dinner was burgers and salads in an upmarket take away, before we headed back to the site.
