So we said good bye to Stevo and headed to the airport, which is much different than the one Zagreb used to have. It's much more in design and size of others in larger countries. It was a good ride, long again but got us back to Canada in good shape. When we got back there was work to do around the yard, and while Charlie prunes trees I take pictures of flowers and bees. Below are a couple of pix of Krissy which I just happen to find in the same folder as these. Anyway, the big trip was done.
We didn't really have much time for doing more sight-seeing in Zagreb so we stayed put, except for getting a bite to eat at a restaurant called Kod Dede, or at grandpa's. A friend of my aunt's dropped by to say hello to Mom. And we stopped at Bauhaus which is a huge home depot store, where I finally found a full isle of art paints and canvases. And that's just some of the candy and cookies we brought back. I overdid it, that's for sure.
And just like that, three months we spent in Croatia have gone by. Somehow I survived the scorching temperatures of July and part of August. It wasn't easy but I did it. And now it was time again to get back to Zagreb and in a few days get on a plane. So we packed up and locked up and drove the three hours to ZG to unwind from the hectic life in Dalmatia, lol. But it's true, when you go there you don't want to waste time, you want to go to the beach, you want to go sight-seeing, you want to go to the restaurants and shopping, so yes, it can be hectic, especially when you have to get by hoards of tourists in the streets.
We stopped on the Maslenica bridge to take in the views from above. This is where you can go bungee jumping if you feel that adventurous. The scenery is beautiful, the cove, the mountains and the Novigrad Sea. What's not to like? Right on the bridge was a little windy but it was worth the stop even if none of us were up to bungee jumping that day.
