Back into the devils den….ZAGREB!!!!!
January 29, 2006 |
Yet again the god of travel acts as he promised. The flight left right on time, which I guess isnt that big a deal for Praguers. Being sandwiched between Germany and Austria has given it some germanic qualities. Pulled in at 8.20pm and here I am a little before 10pm tapping away in an internet cafe across from Bonbons.
Despite my demands Zagreb hasnt mended its evil ways. It is still a flea bitten, plague blighted heap of unreconstructed neo realist rubble of uncertain provenance. To combat the evilness that lies within I came well prepared; sacred Armani aftershave courtesy of those humanitarians at Duty Free and in the absence of incense I have settled on a packet of Vuegeros Cuban cigars, again with the comfort and support of the Duty Free. I have been chanting Druidish incantations (or maybe it is just my drunken ramblings to the voices). Anyway so far so good. But Bonbon is full to the gills and I know of no other place for asylum. There is an upside. In my directionless wanderings I have beheld, and approved of, the Croatian womens penchant for wearing skin tight jeans and knee length boots. They are seriously cute into the bargain. Like Poles with a bit of an edge. Sweeeeet.
Anyhow the hunt continues for a sanctuary.
Flying out tomorrow on a little after midday. Hope the cigars last till then. Will keep puffing till then.
