Day 33: Plitvice Lakes, Croatia

July 23, 2017 in Croatia ⋅ ⛅ 29 °C

Plitvice Lakes National Park is incredible. The water is so blue and so clear that we could see all the fish and even the branches at the bottom of the water. We ended up hiking a total of 16 km! The hike was really nice, but we ended up doubling up on one part of the hike by accident as the signs were confusing so we saw one part twice (not so bad as we didn't mind seeing the waterfalls again).

Unfortunately, we weren't able to swim at the park as it is protected by its UNESCO World Heritage status, but was still totally worth a visit.

When we got back to the hostel, we enjoyed the communal dinner of Penne Arrabbiata and ended
up chatting with two people (Nicole and Tom) from Edmonton for over two hours. Turns out they booked the same kayaking/rafting tour as us tomorrow which will be a blast.Read more
