Split to Lake Plitvice

This morning we say goodbye to Trogir, take a bus to Split and pick up our rental car.

Wayne expertly drives us towards our destination. We pass through beautiful mountainous areas with lakes dotted here and there. The highway is engineered with long tunnels and bridges to get us through mountains and over ravines.

As we get higher, the houses change to resemble more of a Tryrollian shape with steeper metal roofs. We pass by fields with cattle, sheep and goats. Such a contrast to our time at the coast.

We check into our hotel, and it's beautiful. We have a room with a balcony overlooking the mountains covered with trees, and we can hear waterfalls in the distance.

We decide to go for a short tour thru the park which consists of a short boat ride across a lake, a 5 K walk through the amazing landscape, and a bus ride back to our starting point.

Words cannot do justice to the UNESCO world heritage site. We are in awe of the beauty around us.

After apertifis with Jen and Wayne in our room, we take a shuttle to a restaurant that serves dishes typical for this area. It was delicious!

Back to the hotel to relax and prepare for more explorations tomorrow. Czytaj więcej
