Zagreb, day 1

So I’ve been in Zagreb for 28 hours and have slept many of them! On a trip like this, I don’t plan anything for the first day because… Jet lag.

I did, however, find the type of energy that only avails itself when in a new and exciting location! After walking the short jaunt from my apartment to the city center, I had my first Croatian coffee in THREE YEARS! As always, it was the best.

Croatians have one pastime: drinking coffee. Watching the locals from my high stool vantage point, I could spy plenty of older ladies and gents just quietly sit and watch the crowds (or lack thereof; this city is empty until May) with a tiny cup of coffee… For hours.

It’s been a beautiful day and I walked most of the city in just a few hours. Already plenty of highlights including the Dolac market and the mushroom museum. When I get some more time and umph, I’ll tell you of them all…

For now, I’m off to sleep before taking my excited self out to the country tomorrow for horseback riding on a day that’s supposed to be near 80. Wish me luck!
