Croatia 6 April 2019

Medevja

Rijeka is not at the top end of our best cities list. In fact, it is a not to do again city. It is crowded and

Opatija

awkward and we could not even find a good restaurant. You have millions of coffee shops/bars everywhere and that is all they serve. No food.

The downside has also been the weather that has been very wet.

Yesterday we did take to the coast, north of Rijeka towards Pula through Opatija and Medevja. The road winds along the cost and the businesses are starting to open

for the spring, awaiting all the tourists. It must be a madhouse in summer.

Today we made our way to the Plitvice Nationaal Park which is way more our scene.

As usual, the GPS took us on a scenic route and we landed up in the forests just outside

Apartment at Rakovica

Rakovica where we have an apartment.

Along the route, there was a thirty-kilometer stretch that took us into the forest, in Karlovac County, and over the Merznica River where they river raft. The rapids are stunning and the colour of the water is out of this world.

Excited about tomorrow. Plitvice National Park, here we come.
