May 29th, 2010 Zagreb, Croatia

7AM I arrived at Zagreb and walked to the city center, which is only 15 minutes away. I finally found the Golfe Cafe but after a coke, the whole city block ran out of power. The city is small and I finished around 9 before going to Stjepan’s home. I stayed there until 12PM and got a ride to the center.

3PM We had lunch at Maksimir, which is a restaurant in the Maksimir Park. The lunch was grilled veal. It was alright. We ate for a long time.and got back at 6PM. I also got to try a hybrid bike that uses electricity to maintain speeds around 30-40 km per hour.  I left Stjepan’s home because it just did not make sense to go out and come back and then go to the train station for Ljubljana at 5AM.

8PM I met this Malaysian girl Selena who has been travelling. I did not exactly like this girl. She was much of a tool who has been counting continents she has been to. In addition, she insisted on partying in the rain with a bunch of high school students. I had the best ice cream after that awful Bosnian ice cream for 14 HRKs. I caught Melanie from yesterday, who has been hanging out with some guys from Zagreb. I left her to join a local group that visited a so-called “underground” party, which is pretty fun. A guy from the group bought me a local beer.

12AM The parties to Baratoga and the Sky Bar but they were pretty lame. I left around 4 for the bus station. I also complained about the double charge for the locker that Selena and I shared. For that, I was able to convert the 70 HRKs back into Euros at the information desk.
