Euro Trip Pt IX: Zagreb & Dubrovnik (Croatia)

Posted on September 24, 2010 by tokyofox

After Slovenia I had to spend about four hours in the nice but fairly unspectacular Zagreb while I waited for my night-train down to Split. One great thing about Croatia’s capital is that there is a legitimate free transport zone……not … Continue reading →
