May 28, 2008 - Zagreb (Croatia) - Rest and recoup over night.
Train arrived here at about 7 or 8pm. I could have left that night at 10pm but that would mean hitting Salburg at 4am, which I didn´t think would be too wise! So I opted for one night in Zagreb. ... Still in shorts and t-shirt and smelly sandles!! Being one night in Zagreb it was over quickly. ... I had a pizza and a drink and went to bed.Train arrived here at about 7 or 8pm.

Nov 6, 2007 - Zagreb
What a very pleasant journey, modern compartment style train with my own compartment for most of the trip, beautiful Hungarian and Croatian countryside and a couple of hours along the shores of Lake Balaton. I have to admit that I had doubts about coming to Zagreb, it looked like an industrial dump when Kev and I came through here last year but first impressions are very favourable, it almost feels like stepping back to western Europe after the last few weeks. ... Maybe it's all relative, other people didn't seem to like Zagreb as much as I did but they had come from Italy and I'd come from Belarus! The lower town is the modern side of Zagreb and the Upper town is the old town. ... I wandered through the old town finding nice views and saw that there were mountains in the distance, I figured that if I walked far enough along the ride that I would find the perfect view over the city with the mountains in the background.What a very pleasant journey, modern compartment style train with my own compartment for most of the trip, beautiful Hungarian and Croatian countryside and a couple of hours along the shores of Lake Balaton.

May 21, 2007 - The Road is a Liquid Concept
Howdy huevos rancheros, well I could say I'll try to make this short but little Mikey has been a very, very naughty boy and the last entry was some time ago. Amazingly, and with only one luggage hiccup (delivered to my hotel room at 12 midnight), I made it to Zagreb and then to the pretty island of Rab in the time scheduled. ... would someone tell me where to catch the shuttle!? With Zagreb things began to take on a familiar hue. ... I wouldn't say I felt at home until I was in Belgrade, where I am now.Howdy huevos rancheros, well I could say I'll try to make this short but little Mikey has been a very, very naughty boy and the last entry was some time ago.
