Zagreb: Too Short A Visit

In search of a better quality of life, fulfilling our dreams to see the world and provide ourselves and young children with invaluable experiences, we sold our home and possessions in London to begin our journey of a lifetime. Here we will share our tips, stories, successes and failures, not only for our families and friends, but also to assist those who may have similar adventures in mind. We hope also to inspire those who relish the idea of travelling to newer and unfamiliar pastures but do not know how and those who require some evidence it can be done.

Zagreb: Too Short A Visit

THIS being my mother’s home city, I’m no stranger. I’ve been coming here for a long time, since it was a part of former communist Yugoslavia.

It’s undergone a significant facelift since my last visit eight years ago. Now there are trendy shops and bars everywhere. The city smells of wealth. It has a far less depressing feel to it.

Our stop here was only short – enough time to catch up with family, grab a meal at an excellent vegan macrobiotic restaurant (Nova, Ilica 72) – with a great health food store next door - and take a ride on one of the new trams (which are free in the city centre).

It feels safe and clean and the people were very friendly (although it always helps when speaking the native language).

However, there is traffic (not unusual for a city) and parking can be difficult. But there’s plenty to see - impressive buildings and squares and some parks. Next time we will have to stay longer.

Munich: From Car Museums To Tea Houses MUNICH has plenty to offer. However, if truth be known, we'd have probably bypassed the German city had we not a son who's a car fanatic. In the heart of the city sits the shining, state of the art BMW museum. So we took a detour and stayed several hours....

Kukljica: New Impressions STANDING on the deck of the ferry from Zadar to Preko (about £3 per person), Zenchai bellowed, “Hello Kukljica” as our journey across the water neared the end. We had arrived, finally. After some 2,300 miles, from London to Maastricht to Karlsruhe to Munich to Zagreb, we could almost see...
