Breakfast in Varazdin

We have settled into our apartment in Varazdin which is really comfortable. Slept like a log on Saturday night and only showered and dressed at 10.30. A real treat for us.

Drava River - Varazdin County Side

We explored the Drava River and forest and as it was Sunday the
local residents were out there enjoy the beginning of spring. Couples and families were strolling along the river chatting and the kids were out on their bicycles.

Drava River - Medimurje County Side

We stay in Verazdin County and across the river is the Medimurje
County where, on the banks, people have wooden and mobile homes for weekend getaways. They were out doing the barbeque and it seemed like a different world to this side of the river.

Country Home in Leštakovec. 

In the evening we met with Paul and Sanje who will be showing us properties in the morning. Went for a drive out to the hunting lodge in Zelendvor and then off for a pizza at a nearby restaurant.

We woke to rain this morning - it felt like we were in the UK - but jackets on and we were going to see the properties as arranged.

View From The House

The countryside is beautiful and a mist hung over the valleys and forests that we passed through. We have definitely decided we do not want to live in the suburbs so have already narrowed down our list. We saw one very promising home but could not get inside and will be going back before the weekend.
