Today we had a tour of Zagreb. Shockingly, the tour focused on a Nikola Tesla statue without mentioning the La Chocolate store a few meters away. It was closed, but I fixed the omission by visiting the Chocolate Museum later that day. I accidentally kept the Chocolate Museum locker key, so I had to return the next day to put it back.

I also visited the Museum of Lost Tales (pictured below) and the Museum of Broken Relationships (not pictured). The Museum of Lost Tales seemed largely fragmented to me, or at least out of context. The vampire-werewolf lore below is worth a read. On the balance, the Museum of Broken Relationships was depressing. People are messed up.

Drivers in Zagreb are pretty good about stopping behind the stop line and stopping for pedestrians in crosswalks.
