Zagreb

A really nice city, full of really nice people. After getting off the train, I headed up a main street toward what I thought would be my hotel, but it turned out to be farther than I thought it would. I stopped at an ATM and then went into a store for some water (with gas) and a banana. I asked the woman behind the counter if she could help me find my hotel. She drew me a map, told me how to pronounce it correctly and which tram to take to get there -- and then gave me a ticket.

my guide book says it's the name of the entire neighborhood neighborhood up the hill from the main square, but i get almost everything wrong.

see my sarajevo gallery for further evidence of that.

Kaptol, if I am not mistaken, was just the top of the hill...
