As always, I have a few free minutes and thought I would put up some pictures and comments about a couple of recent stops we've made on our journey. A natural progression would be to put Zagreb (the capital of Croatia) and Banja Luka (the capital of Republika Srpska) together in a post since we did after all visit them both within a four-day period. However, as I began to type and loaded the pictures I started to feel a bit uncomfortable. At first I didn't know why and then I remembered...they really (really!) dislike one another. They dislike one another so much, I doubt they would want to share a blog post on my tiny insignficant blog that pretty much nobody reads....welcome to the Balkans!
So here they are, each city with their own post. You're welcome!

| I took very few picutres of Zagreb, I was in a fowl god awful mood that day but I couldn't resist this lego looking church. |
 |
| Since we were staying with a couch surfer (the wonderfully sarcastic Tomislav, a big wig at Nestle) we ended up staying in a neighbouring city called Samobor. At first we were nervous to be 20 km outside of our destination, Zagreb, but we ended up enjoying Samabor so much! It was a quaint and charming medieval town where the people were friendly and as charming as the sign. |
 |
| A local drink called Bermet, made exclusively in Samabor, was too bitter for me but I'm a sucker for "secret family recipes" and drank it anyway. Keep your eyes on Vagabundo Magazine to read Zack's article about Bermet. |

| I told you it was charming. |
