It was late in the evening when I boarded the train to take me from Zagreb to Venice, and it would be a long trip in more ways than one.

Today I witnessed one of the most beautiful sights I have ever been lucky enough to have seen, which may seem strange when you realise it was a cemetery, but what an incredible cemetery it is.

I set my alarm for 6:30 this morning and was up promptly, showered and dressed and out of the door without barely making a noise and waking anybody.
