Zagreb

I'm running a little behind now, but to fill in on Zagreb at least:
On Tuesday morning we met up with the guy we had met on Hvar. He took us to his office and showed us the applications he builds, and gave us lots of samples. It really is pretty amazing stuff. In the afternoon we went to a couple of museums, and then had dinner at an awesome cafe with tables filling up an old cobbled street. It was cheap, great food, and we gorged.
On Wednesday we went to the city museum of Zagreb, which was vaguely interesting, and then to the archaeology museum, which was awesome. It was really really hot, so we were glad of being in airconditioned buildings for the day.
As I've said, I really like this city. All the buildings are actually made of brick, but rendered to look like they are solid stone, and painted all different colours. It's all wide and open and lovely (at least in the city centre), and all the lamp posts have flower boxes on them. Very picture-skew.
We had dinner at Nokturno again (the little street cafe), as it was the best deal we had found.
Sleeping in Zagreb was not so easy, as we were in a dorm which was sort of also a corridor, and there were various snorers, talkers, and early-risers. Also, despite the hostel being quite clean, there was a bit of a bed-bug scare, which stressed us out more than I can say. Thankfully, we seem to have shaken the curse and gotten away with nothing more than a bit of itching. It wasn't enough to put us off being in love with Croatia.

On the Thursday we took a very pretty train journey (though entirely unairconditioned and very breathless) to Budapest, of which I will write later, as I have a train to catch.
