It just gets better and better... the rolling hills and hidden valleys of Zagorje County take our breath away. It is hard to get used to, all this natural splendour.
We strolled through Varaždin, sampled a few of the traditional dishes , wandered through the gardens surrounding the baroque castle and meandered through the country lanes to Krapine Toplice , another thermal springs area.
It was a bit dicey finding our way here at times but Google Maps came to the rescue!
I learned the hard way that two glasses of vino bijelo with lunch does not make for efficient map,reading! (Sorry Geoff...)
That lunch in Varaždin was out of this world ! This area has the well deserved reputation for its traditional cuisine which we are happy to endorse! I am now devoting an a photo album to food!!! Watch this space!
Today was gentle, a visit to the Krapina Museum , then on to Trakoščan Castle . Both were impressive. Remains of Neanderthal man were found here in 1899 and the museum was fascinating.
We are going to join the locals for a drink now, in one of the outdoor cafés. Hmmm, which one? Decisions, decisions.....
