Croatia – Day 2

My hopes for enjoying a rain-less day were quickly gone when I woke up. It was pouring outside, but I decided to go to Plitvice Lakes National Park anyway and take the 4-6 hour tour. In general I dislike rain but since I knew in advance that I will get wet and cold, I made up my mind not to care about it and went out there. And it was well worth it.

Plitvice Lakes is a ridiculously beautiful reservation, where huge lakes are positioned in different levels with waterfalls in between. In the programs supplied by the park you get to walk among the lakes on wooden bridges and also ride a boat on one of them. Because I tried to keep my camera dry, many of the pictures and videos came out fuzzy, crooked or just crappy.

Being wet to my bones and very cold I continued straight to Zagreb, where I pre-booked a room in a hostel because I wanted to get my laundry done. They don’t have a drier, which is a shame and means I’ll have to hang my clothes to dry in the car or something :)

Tomorrow I hope to get to Kopački Rit Nature Park, where I’ll get to see interesting flora and fauna and as a bonus it’s not supposed to (heavily) rain there tomorrow.
