Day 1--Croatia

A doubledecker Lufthansa
Patrick and Surani
and me.

 Day One---or something like that.  A miserable 10 hour flight from San Francisco to Frankfurt Germany, followed by a dash through a huge airport to catch a tram to a different terminal, followed by more dashing through this terminal to catch a bus, which took us to another plane out on the tarmack, followed by another plane ride, only one and one-half hours this time, to the capitol of Croatia, Zagreb.


 Croatia is a pretty green place with lots of mountains, at least from the plane.  Zagreb itself is interesting, with a lot of communistic style buildings outside of city center, and inside city center lots of what I think of as European style buildings.  Unfortunately lots of tagging everywhere.  Haven't seen much more yet.  More to follow.

After a nap we were driven to a restaurant named Gallo--a chicken, not wine.  There we had  great meal, pictures follow.  The meal was very nice, but following European style, two hours long.  Four courses (!): pasta, salad, fish, dessert.  None of the servings were huge, but we definitely walked out full...oh I forgot to mention wine.



First Course, truffle pasta

Main course, sea bass and risotto
Vegetarian main, mushroom and risotto


Dessert.  Don't know what it was but it was delicious.
