After Ljubljana and Slovenia, it was time to move on to the next country: Croatia. Our first stop was Zagreb, the countries’ capital. Since our main goal was to spend time on the Adriatic coast, we merely spent only an afternoon here, to break up the otherwise long journey. The second stop before arriving at the coast was Krka National Park, famous for its series of seven waterfalls.

After a sweaty 8-hour train ride from Budapest, we were not in the best mood to look for restaurants.

If there is one particular food item that stands out in Hungary is definitely paprika. Even though the paprika peppers did not originate from Europe, Hungary has really embraced it as their national symbol and an essential spice in the Hungarian kitchen. Its usage is evident in Hungary’s main dishes, however we also tasted some non-paprika items that we thought deserved a try.
