First night in Zagreb
Our first flight into Zagreb went without incident, and we worked with a great rental car agent to pick up our ride for the next week, a brand new fancy-pants Mercedes. Our first 20 minutes of driving was actually a but confusing because our car refused to go over 40km/hr. Luckily we hadn’t hit the highway yet but we did feel a little like pokey tourists. A call back to the agency revealed a magical hidden button that sets a max speed, and we were on zippy sport mode in no time.
We got two Great rooms at Hotel Jägerhorn, in Zagreb’s old town neighborhood, and fought a little jet lag with som wandering around looking for dinner.
We took the hotel receptionist’s recommendation and ate at an awesome place named Mundoaka Street Food, a few blocks from our hotel and just off of the central square. Tables were set up on the pedestrian street for some great people watching. The food was incredible and beautiful, and the local wine (Slovenian, this one) was delicious (and cheap!).
