Varazdin

Bus up to Varazdin for the day.  Varazdin is about 80km north of Zagreb and preceded Zagreb as capital city for a few years until a huge fire in 1776.  It is however quite small, with a population a little over 50,000.

The old town is well preserved with many magnificent baroque buildings, a number of palaces and of course cathedrals snd churches.  The centre is pretty much reserved for pedestrians and cyclists of whom there are many as the city seems to be full of students.

Had a powerful organ recital in the cathedral and once again did a lot of walking.  Coffee too - $3 for two hot and good size lattes and later on $1.80 for a pot of beer.  Quite a bit cheaper than Zagreb which is itself very reasonable.

Full bus on the way back, dropping off and picking up along the way.

Fingers crossed, off to a Rotary make-up tonight at the Rotary Club of Zagreb Centar.
