and then we descend into the wonder that is Plitvices Lakes

Day 1: 132 kilometers southwest of Zagreb, we descended into the wonderland that is Plitvice Lakes National Park to hike its sixteen interconnected lakes separated by travertine damns and hundreds of waterfalls.
It's hard to capture the astonishing colors of these pristine lakes, shades of turquoise that change constantly depending on the quantity of minerals or organisms in the water and the angle of sunlight. I've never anything like it before, we were in another world 😍

  • in case you are wondering whether or not I am able to nimbly scale these mountains, the answer is unfortunately, no. Between grabbing photographs and a limited lung capacity, I am usually in the 'sweep' position on any given hike. Here's H and Steph waiting for me to catch up, doing a little 'what took you so long' hip hop 🤣 🤣 Luckily, I had my camera ready 😎

  • When we arrived back in the village after our bike ride across the countryside, we were given an option for another bike ride ("steep but with great views") or beer & a swim in the village waterfalls. It took Tom all of a Croatian nanosecond to make a choice 🤣
