Ready to go ......... and now we are in Zagreb

The bags are packed and the piggy bank raided.

You know you are still in Melbourne when this is what greets you at the airport.

Friday 20 September we are into Zagreb via Doha and Budapest.  Arrived in pretty good condition despite more than 24 hours of travel.  Our hotel is the Regent Esplanade which was originally built to service the Orient Express Railway.

Had an exploratory walk through parks, entertainment and a market in Trg Josipa Jelacica before moving into the streets and streets of outdoor restaurants and cafes.  Zagreb is certainly a cafe society and there were people everywhere as all the cafes have big outdoor flatscreens and Croatia was playing Lithuania in basketball.

Back to the Esplanade for sleep catch up.
