Croatia 7 April 2019

This morning I was up at 0515, wanting to be the early bird t the Plitvice National Park. We don't

really do crowds well and this time it paid off.

The weather was lousy but it made up for no crowds as it must be horrendous to have hundreds of visitor on these wooden walkways that wind over the water and through the forest.

We had our rain macs, beanies, gloves and brollies and all I can say is that I thoroughly enjoyed every moment.

The National Park is world famous for its sixteen lakes arranged in cascades.

We did the long loop which takes in the lower and upper lakes.

You get bussed to the first walking station and what should have taken us two hours turned into three because we could not just rush through the lower lakes.

We then took a ferry across the lake and did the walking loop to the upper lakes and the Veliki Slap (Big Water Fall)

All in all, that was a nine-kilometer hike, so can you imagine what we feel like tonight. No actually, the bodies don't feel anything tonight
