Croatia

By this point in our trip we knew we wanted to end up in Corfu, Greece, for our final destination. The way we chose to do that was to take a cheap flight from Serbia, and to get to Serbia we went through Croatia.

We would have liked to visit the coast also but we didn't have the time. We went instead to the capital Zagreb, which was great to visit in itself. It also contained what was probably our favourite hostel of the trip: The Cherry Hostel - which you can read bout here if you're planning to visit Zagreb any time soon!


The above photo is taken nearby the Lotrtrščak Towere, where we saw - and heard,VERY loudly! - the cannon, which is fired every day at noon.

By the time we got to Zagreb, we knew we needed to get only one train to get to Serbia. And because of how many days of train journeys we were allowed with our ticket (10), and how many days we'd had up to that point, we knew we had one spare day of train journeys. Gareth was determined that the spare day of train travel would not go to waste, so on one of the days in Zagreb we took a random train to the middle of nowhere, and got off it when we felt like it. This is where we ended up:

 

 

We got some food and hung out here for a little while before heading back to Zagreb. From where the next day we would be going on to Belgrade, the capital of Serbia...
