Plitvice Lakes

After we got off the boat and spent the night in Cres we headed towards Plitvice Lakes. Ever since Craig and Sue visited us last year and we heard and saw their experiences here we were determined to come.

We stayed at the same B and B they did (included evening meal), arriving in the afternoon and meeting the proprietor's mum. After lots of attempts, mainly in Italian, we think she realised that I did not eat fish and that Malcolm did. When we sat down for dinner a large meat platter came out - way too much for us and we thought she had interpreted no fish at all but a couple of minutes later out came a large platter of fish for Malcolm - all to himself!!

The next morning we got up early to beat the crowds. It was looking like rain so we got going and were amazed by these beautiful waterfalls and lakes. Even though grey and overcast the water was still an amazing turquoise colour. It was great to walk along man made paths without rails that fit beautifully into the environment.

We spent all morning there even in the rain but happy to have beaten the crowds - busloads were arriving after we had walked all the way.
