KrK to K..t..s..y. 1st October 2008
The plan today was to drive to an island called 'Krk. I drove today which was a nice change. The viaduct to the island was pretty cool. It was all feeling a bit industrail though. We came to the 'main' town which lacked a bit of anything. So we had lunch then pushed on to Zagreb.
In Zagreb we felt rather uninspired. We went into an internet cafe to search for accommodation but couldn't find anywhere! Another 'pro' for booking ahead! We sat at an outdoor smokey bar and I had a green tea with honey and lemon.
Feeling a bit muh, we then decided to drive the extra three hours to K..t..s..y, a night earlier than intended. So it was another day with heaps of driving. We arrived at 7pm.. I began to like the idea of prebooking a place more and more, as we wandered from penzion to penzion. Eventually we found a grand looking place called 'Muzeum Penzion'. A sweet little old lady answered the door looking rather surprised to see us. The room was huge for three people and decorated with an antique/aunty type feel. (Felt a bit like Aunty Cecilia's place). There were little yappy dogs and birds in cages in the entrance hall. It was really a B and B without the second B.
We went off for dinner. DIVINE! In case you can't tell, I'm loving the Eastern European fare so far. This little place was empty of any other guests and the Maitre'D was really welcoming. I had a beautiful rich Goulasch for starters. Oh yeah. The boys had deer something a rather. It was all very very good. Then, the Maitre'D brought us complimentary house shots. Mine was a lemony type thing for the ladies and the boys threw back Ouzo or something similar, we never knew. That's not dodgy at all! They were left spluttering and cringing much to the delight of our host. The shots could've warmed an eskimo in a snowstorm. It was great fun. I should mention we finished it all off with a cheese strudel which was surprisingly sweet and delicious. YUM!!!!!!
