Daily Didactic
Today was realistically a slow amble. Having gotten in late, we slept a little late and more than made up for a lack of meals yesterday by heading straight to the Trip Advisor recommended Eggspress for breakfast. They have a reputation for westernish egg breakfasts in significant portions. Well earned, it turns out. Brian should not need to eat again for a few days. But he will. The rest of the day turned into a walk around Zagreb's old town, stepping into churches and marveling at architecture. Eventually we wondered south of old town, through the Zagreb Botanical Garden, and back up through a series of parks. We called the day early and enjoyed a super relaxed afternoon and evening off. The pace of Zagreb suits us.
