It was another travel day as we moved from the beautiful Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia to Lake Bled in Slovenia. We woke up early to leave Plitvice on the 6:45 bus to Zagreb, the capital of Croatia. With a few hours before our train departed, we dropped off our luggage at the train station and wandered around Zagreb for a while. Unlike the tourist destinations of Plitvice, Split, and Dubrovnik, the crowded city of Zagreb seemed to be mostly devoid of tourists. Not really knowing what to do, we stopped by the Tourist Information (TI) to pick up a map and suggested walking tour of the city. In those few hours, we saw two statues of a man on a horse, a winding cafe-lined street, and a huge multi-level farmers market.

Eventually, we walked back to the train station, picked up our luggage, spent our remaining kuna, and departed for Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia. After arriving, we didn’t have much time to admire the city before boarding a bus to Lake Bled. After checking into our B&B, we walked the 6 km perimeter of the lake before returning to our room and falling asleep.
