Well, the two cities could not be more different, even though both are capital cities and about the same size - around 800,000 people. We spent two days in Sarajevo and loved it. The city is vibrant: people are walking everywhere and there are lots of young people about. It was a lot of fun. This in spite of the fact almost all the trees were cut down during the war to provide heat.
After driving all day through beautiful Bosnia we finally arrived in Zagreb. This is the graffiti city. It's everywhere and on everything. Terrible. One way streets and few hotels meant we drove around for one-and-a-half hours to find a small hotel - lovely yes, but at double the price. THe people are quiet, the city more or less empty and the grafitti is quite disturbing. Apparently there are very interesting sites to see. We'll visit tomorrow and see, but we will be cutting down our visit to two days. If people care no more about their city than to allow the graffiti to continue, then it sets the overall tone of the place. We will move on to Llubjana.
