I just returned from wandering Croatia and Slovenia and still have a smile on my face. My itinerary was ambitious but do-able. I flew into Zagreb, the capital of Croatia. Zagreb was a great entry point into Croatia as it was easy to navigate, incredibly clean and English-speaking locals were plentiful. Zagreb has a nice old city to walk and is divided by Upper Town (Gornji Grad) and Lower Town (Donji Grad). I visited the Zagreb Cathedral, St. Mark’s Church, The Stone Gate and the Dolac Market. I also went to the Museum of Broken Relationships, which was a quirky, interesting way to spend an hour and $7 Euros. Be sure to walk through the beautiful parks like Maksimir Park or Jarun Lake.  I stayed at Hotel Jagerhorn, which had comfortable rooms, a friendly staff and a great breakfast included. On day two, I picked up the rental car so that I could head up to Slovenia for a few days.
