My first sleep in this agricultural rural corner of East Croatia SE of Zagreb was hard to get any better. The studio I rent is brand new, and while it's tiny, it sets the bar really high when it comes to taking advantage of the available space. It's got a bathroom that can embarrass even medium houses and the owner even managed to fit an ironing board in it! Not that I use one but just saying...
Moody weather means less excursions and more indoor time which equals to more cooking time. More than happy to do so since this tiny thing even has an (almost) fully equipped kitchen. The stuff here is so brand new that I even have the honour and privilege to unbox this IKEA peeler 🙂
You don't expect me to do an unboxing video of a peeler right? Besides, there's more interesting things to focus on, like this stork that just arrived for a few seconds hence I only manage these two rough shots:
Not all is great with this place though. One thing really sucks and that's internet. Instead of commenting about it (which is hard) have a look at the upload speed:

Yep, that's less than half a Mbps. Imagine how this feels trying to upload a 5GB+ video...
In a weather like this with a full stomach at such a quiet corner of this planet you feel like you can sleep for ages. Here's the main junction in this brief video where you here more birds than cars:
But if I sleep all day you'll have nothing to see and I will have nothing to remember. So, get ready cause as long as it doesn't rain it's a good idea to see what's around.
And others just go with bare bricks and no paint like this one on the right, something that is far from rare here:
This next one on the left looks old and unloved but its garden is neat so it must be lived - feels a little weird but interesting in any case:
With so much rain around here annually vegetation flirts with jungle standards. There are houses conquered by the Green majesty like this abandoned one:
The house next to it is also camouflaged behind vegetation but the difference in its age and maintenance is beyond obvious:
Interesting to see how things evolve in the progress of time...
This drain canal goes all the way uncovered like this making me wonder how many cars it has swallowed over the years:
Ladies and gents, brace cause after all this walk I meet the first two legged being so far - not a talking one though:
Though it's early June I can understand why. These days are crazy cold and miserable even for the local standards. As for my standards, this is like gloomy winter in Athens while in theory we are in the beginning of summer.
Still, there's interesting stuff to see. That's so much different than my Mediterranean routes by all means:
Did I go a little too far? It seems so. Time to walk these several km back to have some rest before it rains again.
See you on the next one!
