Plikvice Lakes


July 6th and July 7th we spent in Plikvice Lakes!

Plikvice Lakes are a system of 14 lakes and waterfalls that are the most amazing blue and aqua colors surrouneded by beautiful lush green forests! Grandma and Grandpa O Connor would really love this! It is a very large tourist attraction for Eastern European, Italian and German people. When took a train and then a bus to get there. The bus driver dropped us off at the WRONG bus stop and we had to walk over a mile up and down with our backpacks! But when we got our stuff put away and start adventuring it was well worth it. Micah thought it reminded him of something out of the Lord of the Rings! When we got there in the afternoon there were TONS of people there it was crayz but then as it got later we felt like the only people in the Park!! The park os so large that you have to take shuttle buses and boats to get around.
That evening it rained again but we had an umbrella and a poncho (sometimes prepared). We had a great traditional dinner at the park restraunt. Micah had goulash (again, he LOVES it)! Then our hotel looked like it was straight out of the Tito days (old dictator of Yugoslavia) but it had a really soft bed.
Then next day we got up early and explored somemore. We saw the Big Waterfall with a rainbow in front of it!! Magical!! Then we left for Zadar and Sibenik.
