Plitvice 1/2

Monday morning we caught an 8:30am bus to Plitvice, the national park Kim has been dying to go to because it looks like Rivendell and she likes waterfalls. It turns out Kim is NOT a liar and the park is, in fact, beautiful.

The bus ride to Plitvice was about 5 hours long, but it wasn't too bad. They played Croatian music and we mostly slept... the bus even stopped at a roadside diner, so we didn't starve to death.

Since we had Monday afternoon and all day Tuesday at the park we hiked the shorter trail on Monday and saved the longer one for Tuesday.

The water in the Plitvice lakes is crystal clear, so we can see all the fish and decaying trees in the lakes. These poor fish have NO privacy!



There's not much else to say about the park, so I'll just post some photos for you to enjoy. If you want better photos, photos that weren't taken with a 7 megapixel camera from 2008, just google "Plitvice waterfalls" or wait for Kim to post hers.

Enjoy:

  1. Thanks for the postcards. I thoroughly enjoyed them and feeling jealous that I am not in Europe with you guys to have more fun than Disneyland and laugh at atrocious typography. : (
