Zagreb

One of the many exhibits in the Museum of Broken Relationships. Also one of the funniest.
The capital city of Croatia was a brief two hour bus ride from Plitvice and after leaving the incredible nature of the Lakes we couldn’t help but feel a little down heartened to be back in a city. In saying that Zagreb had its charm, the hostel was one of the best we have stayed in filled with friendly Scots and Americans, the city itself is quite zany with the old town sitting comfortably with modern and artistic endeavours. The zaniest attraction we came across was in fact the museum of broken relationships. A place where people can leave items that remind them of previous lovers to help the healing process. An interesting idea and a place that was funny, touching and depressing all at the same time. The city also had fantastic fresh food markets.

Croatia was a blast, many new friends were made and experiences were had. You will be missed.
