Plitvice

Plitvice is a national park in Croatia. It has many waterfalls (side by side) flowing down over the travertine cliffs into a series of lakes. The views are amazing and the terrain a bit unusual, with boardwalks over and around it all. We had a good day of hiking notwithstanding one knee (mine) that got creamed. We're all a bit tired tonight and getting ready for some park food sustenance -- a bit of a letdown after the wonderful food of Rovinj.

The first shot of the Croatian war for independence was fired in this park. It's hard to imagine it in such a bucolic place. And it is still such a recent event.
