Plitvice Lakes


We got on our tour bus at 7AM for the start of our 12 hour tour day. 

The weather was overcast with some rain. We travelled on the inland highway ( four lane divided with a speed limit of 130kph) to about Zadar before turning inland into the mountains. 




We went through a series of tunnels as we proceeded into the mountains (the longest tunnel being 5.9 km)

Plitvice park was AMAZING and worth the $C60 each entry fee. The waterfalls were plentiful and beautiful. I could have taken 100 photos. 









We even saw a beautiful black and yellow salamander


We were in the park for about 3 1/2 hours and walked almost 6 km along with our guide. While the rain held off for most of the time the clouds never went away. The temperature was around 20 degrees  which is 10 degrees cooler than it has been for all our trip.

Upon returning back to our Air BnB we went up to the terrace and ate bread and cheese which we had purchased fresh. Also a bottle of Rose was on the menu.

At 8 PM we went out on the streets, watched a small portion of a concert in the Center (100 meters away from us) and had a gelato before heading indoors.
