Dear All Greetings on this, my final blog entry on this amazing little adventure I had in lovely Croatia. There were so many places to see, and I was awed by the amazing variety and beauty of what I'd seen for myself. After my wonderful afternoon of exploring the "little slice of heaven" that is the Plitvice Lakes National Park (thanks for the phrase, Merry! :D), I left rural Croatia behind and t...

Hello there! Thanks for reading my blog. I started it in 2010 to keep a record of my travels, to let people know how I'm going, and also to keep me sane at times while I'm on the road! I have written up my 28 most recent journeys so far, and have no plans at all to stop travelling just yet. 93 countries down, 102 more to go - watch this space! Alex... full info

Hi Alex. I'm pleased to hear Zagreb hasn't been taken over by the tourist hordes - a city still with a bit of edge.

Awed by the amazing variety and beauty
I was surprised to read this town is not full of tourist. Fantastic. We love trams and funiculars. What a wonderful last day for your trip. An interesting tale of disease, ghostly and lost souls. This sounds like a wonderful part of the world. I've decided we will only travel to places you've been and will follow in your footsteps as it will make easier trip planning. LOL. You know you are a world traveler when you run into a friend in another country. Fantastic! MJ

Thank you Merry! I loved Zagreb. It felt real after spending time in the touristy areas of Croatia. The sanatorium certainly provided a tale to tell, though very unnerving at the time to be there. I would be honoured if you travelled in my travelling footsteps, lol! The icing on the cake on my amazing trip to Croatia was certainly bumping into an old friend on the journey home.

Looks like my kind of place
I have a bit of a soft spot for abandoned places. I think I would have liked to visit Brestovac Sanatorium. Looks like my kind of place. /Ake

Abandoned Places
I may be wrong, but I think I may have gotten inspiration to visit this abandoned place from one of your blogs somewhere. This place was downright spooky though, I didn't enjoy my time there.
