Day 10 A Day in the Life of Karanac village • Travel to Zagreb
• Destination: Zagreb
• Included Meals: Breakfast, Lunch
• Accommodations: Best Western Astoria Hotel or similar
Breakfast: Our A Day in the Life experience continues as we share breakfast at the farmstead with our hosts. Don’t forget to try the cheese we made yesterday.
Morning: Early risers can choose to wake up before breakfast and help our hosts around the farm. Perhaps you’ll join a grocery run, followed by checking on the animals or collecting eggs and vegetables from the garden. You might also head to the kitchen to help get ready for breakfast, either by setting the table or making coffee.
After breakfast together, we’ll engage in some hands-on activities around the farmstead. Then, we’ll walk around the village with our Trip Experience Leader for a glimpse into daily life here. If we visit the farmstead during the weekend, we also have the chance to attend mass.
Lunch: At the farmstead.
Afternoon: We’ll depart Karanac after lunch, leaving village life behind us as we journey overland to Zagreb, Croatia’s modern capital. We’ll arrive and check in to our hotel in the mid-afternoon, then our Trip Experience Leader will guide us on an orientation walk around Zagreb.
Dinner: On your own. Your Trip Experience Leader will be happy to provide restaurant recommendations. Perhaps you’d like to try knedli, sweet potato dumplings stuffed with apricots or plums.
Evening: The rest of the evening is yours. Perhaps you’ll stroll Zagreb’s modern streets with a gelato, or sample some of the city’s craft beer, which has become popular in recent years.

- A hearty group breakfast, including the two cheeses that the group made the previous night.
- Working with the hosts, several people chopped vegetables. The hostess put all of the ingredients for a goulash for lunch into two clay pots.
- The son took the group on a walking tour of the farm. He has several innovative crops, including raspberries, fast growing walnuts for wood and christmas trees. He is intended to sell the Christmas Trees as live trees.
- The son and mother did a roller steniling demonstration. The mother is a master of the lost art. The rubber rollers are no longer made. They have been buying them from other families and now have a large inventory. The group did a arts and craft project with a tile.
- Anna took the group on a walking tour of the village.
- We had the goulash cooked in the clay pots for lunch.
After getting settled in the room, we did an orientation walk with the group leader. Holly, Van, Sharon and I broke off and had dinner at rougemarin City. I had a Tuna bowl [marinated tuna, premium tilda rice, edamame, creamy sauce with cucumbers, kimchi furikake, onion chips, siracha mayo, spring onions]. Sharon had Katsu bowl [chicken breast in panko crumbs, creamy sauce with cucumbers, basmati rice, edamame, tonkatsu sauce, aji mayo, onion chips, kimchi sesame].
We wandered back to the hotel and crashed just after 10 pm.
