Croatia (Day 2)


Plitvice Lakes are a remarkable natural phenomenon. There are a series of 16 lakes that cascade one into another via stunning waterfalls with crystal clear blue green water. The park is remarkably accessible with walkways over the water and close to the falls and even include trams, ferries and boat rides to make the experience truly remarkable. If we had known that it took up to 6hrs to see everything we would have scheduled the time - it was really incredible! Since the navigation system in our car didn't include Croatia we had to make our way from town to town with maps (this is not as easy as it sounds). After several missed turns Nancy saw a sign referring to Nicola Tesla. We saw several more signs and discovered that our wrong turns has taken us to the birthplace of the famed inventor, Smiljan! We made a quick stop in Zadar - an ancient walled city located on the coast before heading to Trogir. We enjoyed a nice evening there and had a great time looking at all the sail boats in the harbor for a recent race. See pictures of Plitvice Lakes, Zadar and Trogir.
