Sean Lennon Day 5, Zagreb, CRO
Zagreb is a pretty wild place. Interesting old houses, and I mean old, with a mix of 1970's era buildings. Not much that's really new...
The show tonight was in a theatre called Kino SC which was on a university campus. At least we think it was. We don't speak or read Croatian, so it was a little difficult to figure some stuff out... Not the best attendance, but still fun.
We had an extended dinner break, so we were actually able to see some of the city. The more 'modern' area, and I use the term loosely, was pretty lame, but then we walked down a passage between some buildings that had a staircase at the end that scaled the side of a cliff. Always interested in getting lost, we decided to climb.
We were not ready for what was at the top. Absolutely mind-blowing medieval village. I can't even begin to describe it. This is beyond walking through history. You're in the thick of it. There was a church right in the middle of the first square we walked through, with a coloured tile roof depicting the crests of the city and country. We went through every alley we could find, and found ancient homes, pubs, statues, coffee shops, merchants, name it. It seemed like it was all original stone roads too. It went on forever. We didn't have a chance to see everything we wanted to, because we did start to run short on time, but I would go back in a heartbeat to see it all again and spend more time there.
Munich has some pretty big shoes to fill tomorrow...
