Picturesque Plitvice

We spent all day exploring the many kilometers of board walks providing access to the wonderful waterfalls and lakes of the Park. Truly a highlight of the trip. Each bend offered increasingly magnificent views. The pictures tell the story.

The next day we had half a day up our sleeve before flying out of Zagreb so got out the maps and decided Karlovac fitted the bill. The first rain of our trip, going around in circles and a lack of attractions meant we pushed on to Sarobon for a late lunch. This detour went through a grape growing region on the hillside which was very attractive. Samobor, while a pretty village, was closed for lunch but open for beer and cake. Not exactly what we had in mind.
The last leg to the airport involved a circumnavigation of Zagreb while we tried to decipher the signs to the airport. This unintentionally gave us another view of the city.
We have both really enjoyed our short time in Croatia. No problems with our travel arrangements and our accommodation choices have been excellent. All places had generous tourist-sized breakfasts and comfy beds. Just about everyone spoke English. Tim and Dawn have kept us constantly entertained with their many travel and family stories... but London calls.
