Mirogoj and Samobor

The hotel is full and we were relocated to the Bistro for breakfast ....so we had no opportunity for champagne this morning....damn.
A quick visit to the Cathedral for a brief attendance at Sunday's service.  Very good congregation in magnificent Cathedral still being restored after the Balkan wars.
Bus to Mirogoj which is a stunning cemetry.  The very impressive colonnade looks like a fortress from the outside and there are some amazing tombstones - a Zagreb must see.
Then to Samobar for the afternoon.  About 30km south of Zagreb with a fast running stream, it's a haven for relaxation (and cakes).  Beautiful walk along the stream with plenty of trout, including some of very good size.
