Zagreb hasn't changed in the three years since we were last there. The scaffolding is still up on the Cathedral of Zagreb and the cleaning is still in progress. If a church takes a hundred years to build, a few years to clean it is just a wink of an eye.
There is another statue of a guy sitting a horse in the main plaza.

We arrived at the home of Ivan and Janja Suntner, a couple we met three years ago on our first trek through Slovenia, just before noon. Ivan was in Sweden but his wife welcomed us to stay. We had a pleasant lunch together in a restaurant a few blocks from there home. During Elsa's afternoon nap, I went for a short walk along the country roads, ending up with a GPS-checked 9.6 km (almost 6 mile) trek.

The Chiemsee is a popular tourist destination in southern Germany. Since the August vacation season is almost upon us, we had a tough time finding a room. We ended up with an expensive room looking out over a car-park with 15 diesel buses running their engines to keep the interiors cool for their passengers returning from day-trips on the lake. They departed at dinner-time, leaving us to contend with the "tanz-abend," or "dance evening," at the hotel. It ran until 11:00 PM, but the noise was tolerable.

The traffic from Munich to Stuttgart is always heavy and today was no exception. It wasn't due to construction this time, though; one lane was closed so they could mow the grass at the edge of the road.
We arrived home at noon, after three weeks and 6700 km.
