Varaždin has some angel trope going on. It has a Museum of Angels (not pictured) and angels here and there around town.
On the bus trip back, we stopped for lunch at a winery, which included the bread roll whose recipe is in the art below, and then returned to Zagreb. I had just enough time to hustle over to the Chocolate Museum on public transit to return their locker key.
Most of the people I encountered in Croatia spoke very good English with minimal accent. Of course, when traveling as a tourist, most encounters are with people in tourist service roles, but, even so, their English was better than in many other countries I have visited.
