• Kravice Waterfalls

    27 Ogos 2024, Bosnia dan Herzegovina ⋅ ⛅ 34 °C

    What the actual fuck?! I am so done with the "tourist" shit. Yeah, I realize the irony. I'm a tourist, too. But how can you seriously enjoy this?

    After paying the 10 € fee for the Kravice Waterfalls, I use the restroom and contemplate whether the graffiti on its wall isn't a bit over the top: "exploit nature, lose morality."

    But as I walk down the paved path, past a little train transporting sweaty adipose people toward a circus of live music, paintings and fruit for sale, beach chairs and restaurants surrounding an otherwise stunning lush oasis, I realize: When the Lonely Planet writes Disney-esque, you'd better believe it! Nothing "Lonely" here!

    Instead of paying for a carton of figs, I pluck a few from the tree right next to the fruit stand, take a dip in the refreshing water and make my way back to my car. This is too sad for me to bear!

    Note to self: Do not, ever again, pay to see a natural site unless you know for certain it's being protected in its natural state, and not just by a life guard whistling people back from climbing up the waterfall.
