……and thought we would spend our last two days with Marilyn visiting Samobor and Varazdin.   Both places were recommended by the Croatian Embassy in Ottawa to Marilyn and are smaller dots on the map compared to Zagreb and Dubrovinik…..good choices.    However, the weather has drastically changed……..maybe I’m exaggerating but it’s no longer in the High 20’s and is struggling to be in the high teens.   This, of course, has been great for hiking and walking so we dare not complain!     Samobor is a  small town south of Zagreb, pop. of about 19,000 and is known  as the place where stressed-out people from Zagreb come to relax and get their fix of good food……we did both, but we added in good wine.   Just spent the night there and then went north to Varazdin which has twice the population, ie. 47,000, and is known as “little Vienna”……….and we would agree.   The cappuccino and torte that we had in the early morning was second to none and the traditional Croatian supper was great.   Off to the airport in the morning with Marilyn as she leaves us for Canada and Jim and I will have a night on our own in Zagreb to review what a fabulous journey we’ve had over the past three weeks with Marilyn……….she will be missed!     Stay tuned for the final synopsis.
