Hrvatska-Dan 3-Plitvice NP & Zagreb

Usually, you can take ferries across the lakes to walking trails and see the lakes from high to low, but the bus to Zagreb was leaving at 10:45 so I could only see the first and lower lake.

Zagreb was a bust. I arrived Sunday afternoon and gave thought to just catching the train the Budapest that night. I decided to stay the night and visit "Tolkein's House", which isn't literally his house but a small pub in his honor that serves the best hot chocolate in Zagreb according to the guide book, however, it turned out to be an abandoned building under construction. The second reason I thought I would stay is to see a few art museums. I later found out that all of the museums are closed only on Mondays, so that didn't happen either. Monday morning, before the train to Budapest, I went to the fruit and vegetable market and spent my remaining Kunas and stocked up on apples, tangerines, clementines, pears, and walnuts.
