Samobor/Zagreb (Croatia)

Drove by Lake Bled (slovenia) on our way to Croatia.
Lake Bled to Croatia = 2hrs.

Lake Bled...







Passport checks when we got to the border and entered Croatia as it is not part of the EU. We stopped by Samobor village before heading into the Zagreb, capital city of Croatia. Samobor is a laid back, smallish town, with cafes having very comfy outdoor furniture, we sat ourselves down for a drink under the cool umbrellas...

Coffee at Samobor...





Plonked our things and car at the apartment premises and took a tram into the city. Tram took about 15 mins, pretty quick and efficient.

The apartment and surroundings.... (the chocolate factory was literally round the corner from us!)







Popped into the tourist info centre to do the usual and decided to go to the Museum of broken relationships.... it started in 2006, a relatively new museum of its kind but an interesting one, it has been exhibited in quite a few countries round the world. We met the originator of the museum who had a broken relationship himself and decided with a group of friends to exhibit some of the gifts exchanged as part of their broken relationship, and few years on in 2006, the museum was born. There was a man who recognised his grandparent in the videos that were shown!

Here's some of the items ...



Concluded our day with a local eatery down the road from the apartment. We were the only guests and they only had a few items 'Under the Bell', which means BBQ of which we took a while to get him to explain to us what it meant!!
