Plitvitsa Lakes- Wednesday 6th October

Today we left Split and drove to the Plitvitsa Jezzera National Park. In the morning, we hired a car from Hertz and drove for 3 hours to the lakes. It was a bit weird for Dad, who drove us there, as the steering wheel was on the Left, and you had to drive on the Right.

When we got to the Plitvitsa Lakes, we checked into our apartment, rested for a bit, then walked to the Plitvitsa Lakes, which was 15 minutes away.

The Plitvitsa Lakes is series of 16 beautiful emerald green/turquoise blue interconnected lakes surrounded by woodland. It looked very similar to NZ.

Look at this amazing pic that we took. Which way is which?

Some of the plants in the woodland looked like native NZ plants.
Once we got our tickets, we walked the upper and lower lakes. The water was so clear you could see the fish swimming inside it.

Once we walked the upper lakes, we took a boat and walked to the Veliki Slap, the biggest waterfall in Croatia.

Afterwards, we had dinner at a buffet restaurant.
