We had another pleasant drive from Dobrna to Zagreb. Rolling hills, forests, farms, and good roads again.

Zagreb is an interesting city. It’s very artsy and design-oriented in an avant-garde/Bauhaus kind of way. There is no mistaking it for a Western European city. The public transportation is excellent and cheap, the food is delicious, the people are gracious and English-speaking, and last but not least, the beer is terrific and cheap.

The architecture is spectacular:

The Museum of Contemporary Art is probably in my top ten art museums—the building is spectacular, to start with. The collection of avant-garde art is truly overwhelming—really too much to take it at one time. The retrospective of works by Sanja Iveković (whom I had never heard of) was a no-holds-barred lesson in the recent history of the Balkans from a feminist perspective. I would return to Zagreb again solely to visit this museum.

I’m not sure that I’ve ever seen a Trabant in the wild.
