18 October 2021 Zagreb Croatia Parks, pooches and lots of sunshine

 


A cool art space across from the hotel and a skateboarded hangout.  From here we walked to some green spaces.  A few parks and then over to the train station area.  Zagreb is a bit rough around the edges in places but quite beautiful in others.  We shopped around for lunch spots and settled on a Michelin Star Le Bistro at the Hotel Esplanade.  Leslie got a fine bubbly blush and I ordered a red with the most vowels and special characters in its name.  Our waitress was delightful and the food was superb.  Octopus, stuffed zucchini flowers in a zucchini soup and a light salad


Serious doors

 

Lots of folks were also enjoying the day



My parking job was much better!


Flying elephants


A rough patch


Embassy row was nice


The leaves were falling and it smelled of fall


A vey ornate weather station.  Temperature, pressure and other unidentifiable data points


The pointer is pointing to Vrijeme


Lots of rehabbing going on by the train station


Lush green grass


Huge statues


A great day for a stroll


Not open but vey cool


Modern Art


Its one way to keep people away from the door



The real action was further down towards the train station


Lovely landscaping 


Nice Scarf


People milling around everywhere


Le Bistro for Lunch


They have Veuve bling right in the front


I tried to pronounce this wine and it sounded like I had already consumed the whole bottle


This was across the street from our lunch and we got to watch it as we dined


Very cool and the patina was just right


Dome row


Another great building


Just to be honest, it was not all so pretty!
