	I booked an apartment hotel in Zagreb near the bus terminl . There are more apartment hotels these days which have no front desk, so WhatsApp is essential. It was National Holiday when I arrived in Zagreb, all supermarkets were closed and open at night.

I left my lugguage in the hotel and went around the City Wall and old town, as it was almost 3PM.
I needed to come back the hotel around noon, cosidering the departure time of the bus boud for Kotor.
I tried to go the City Wall again, but they said only once by the Dubrobnik Pass.
So I went around the old town, and then went to the Lovrjenac Fort.
After that, I headed the Mt.Srdj. I thought the summit is too high for my wide lens. So I tried to climb the cross.
However there were many bothering trees in the path. I gave up the Cross Ⅳ and turned back.
I found better place for photos on the way back near the city center.　

To Kotor

I got on the bus bound for Kotor at the Dubrovnik terminal, and arrived there in the evening.
I went around the old town of Kotor and the Old Kotor Fort Trail next day.

Way to home	I got on the bus bound for Dubrovnik next early morning. The Dubrovnik Airport locats on the way to Dubrovnik city. There is no bus to stop the airport, we need to go the Dubrovnik terminal and chane buses. Montenegro do not join the Shengen Agreement, so we need to get off the bused and passport control at the border. I lost the bus I booked beforehand, then I took a next bus bound for the airport. One night in Zagreb, no sight seeing just grocery shopping, as I need to get up eartly next morning.
	I got on the bus bound for the airport at 5AM. I came home via Munich and Singapore.
