The Hotel Coning Restaurant: VT meal at Hotel Coning
Martin_S. Says: The summer evening was very pleasant for sitting on the veranda to have our evening VT meal with Zdenka and Boris. This was the suggestion of Boris and if he suggests a place is good to eat, believe him, he knows. Have to admit that I do not remember what we ate, just that...
Helpfulness
Okay, this is only a warning for those of you who are "squemish" about bugs. This one that "introduced" himself is quite the size of a small horse, well that is what Tal told her mother when describing the encounter. Zdenka refused to pose with the cute guy and Zohara did not even want to look. Now I am not a but person, but he looked harmless. Now i suppose someone will tell me this is the Croatia Deadly Jumping Beetle...

Trakoscan Castle - Boris and Martin
Martin_S. Says: Zdenka, after yelling at me to hurry up and come down, then proceeded to stop and take pictures like this one ^O^, so come ON girl before they close the gate, always running fast to hurry up and wait... But never fear, Boris and I will come back to pick you up tomorrow, hope...
Martin_S. Says: Okay, let the kids out to play, on the "porch" here at Trakoscan you can see that Zdenka, Tal, Zohara and Boris have plenty of room. Zdenka is yelling at me "Come on Martin, the place is closing and they are going to lock us in"....as if they would want to keep us, Ha. You...
Martin_S. Says: Tal found her a nice spot in the sun on the veranda, overlooking the manmade lake in the small forest glade below. All the bulastrade was carved and very well preserved.
Trakoscan Castle - Martin on stairs
Martin_S. Says: Thanks to Zdenka I can see myself on the stairs of Trakoscan, all the time I was taking the pictures, I keep forgetting that I am never IN the pictures.. Many portraits are spread around the castle and many are of teh Draskovic family. There are also portraits of Army...
Trakoscan Castle - the door knocker & Boris
Martin_S. Says: You have to pay close attention to details, here Boris spotted this very beautifully cast bronze door knocker. We watched several people swirl past this without giving it even a single glance. There is also a display of arms, some dating from the 15th century all the way up...
Martin_S. Says: Another part of the castle that can be seen from the approach walk is the "rook" or tower. Many parts of the exterior have been very well restored, but the same does not happen on the inside. Zdenka told me that money for the restoration is in short supply and they are...
Martin_S. Says: When we walked up toward the castle you approach it on a angled and slighly winding path, each step brings you different sights of the castle.The castle was built in the 13th century and was originally just a small fortress. It was occupied by the Celjski family for a time...
