Bundek in April

Yesterday turned out to be a good day. The temperature was perfect, the sun was shining, and there was a nice warm breeze.
We went to Bundek as planned and snapped plenty of photos to post here and on Zagreb traveller (our other website that is in the making). We strolled around a few of the nature trails and I think that is just what I needed. I don't know about you, but a nice long walk helps me sort out my thoughts.
Afterwards, we went to a local pub and had a couple of bottles of Velebitsko Tamno, which is my favorite beer but is hard to find in the local stores. Then we came home, made sandwiches and sat around the kitchen table drinking and talking. I could use more days like that.
As promised, here are a few pictures of Bundek:

Going to Bundek

I've been depressed lately due to a lot of bad luck and misfortune in my life. Today Bela and I are going to Bundek (a park in Zagreb about 10 minute walking distance from us). Hopefully that will cheer me up a bit.
It is a bright, beautiful day and maybe the saying is right "stop and smell the flowers"...so I will try it.
Hope all is well with everyone and I will post something soon. Maybe I will be able to snap a few photos today and will give you an insight as to how gorgeous Bundek really is:)

Great Food from the Fair

Pertaining to my previous post, I have taken the liberty to snap a few photos of our small platter that I made up on Saturday. A little over a week ago, Bela and I went to a craft fair on Bundek (a park here in Zagreb) which was filled with various different types of delicacies among other things. That is where we got our cheese and sausage , which we have been dining on since.
The cheeses were homemade and consisted of several different kinds. We ended up with 2 made from cows milk (1 had red peppers and the other made from nettle) and 1 made of goats milk, which was divided into 4 sections (smoked, red pepper, dill, and plain). The prices alone for them were a bargain: 30 kunas each for the first 2 and 80 kunas for the sampler. The sausage, which resembled the taste of pepperoni, were foot long links for 13 kunas a piece, so we purchased 2.

Needless to say, we have been spoiled with our new found foods and the only regret that I have, is that we did not buy more. That and the Velebitsko is all gone as well. And now that the fair is over, and the vendors have gone, we have begun a search to find these delectables again. Until I can savor the flavors once again, savoring the memory of them will have to suffice.

Apology for My Readers

I know I haven't posted in awhile, and for that I am sorry. After my last post on Valentines Day, I ended up in the hospital, as some of you may know. Everything is fine now and I am cancer free! So back to my regular life.
It has been beautiful here in Zagreb for the past week. Sunny skies, nice breeze, 70° F and Bela and I have been taking advantage of that by going to the park, went to a craft fair, and went for wheat beer. Today we are going to visit a very old graveyard in town. I have never been, but heard it was a must see. Hope I can get some good pictures to share.
Anyway, once again, I apologize for not posting, but will try to stay more active in this blog from now on:)
