Journey to Plitvice Lakes

Yesterday, Mizz S and I boarded an 8:30 bus to take us to Plitvice Lakes. If you look up Croatia, these are one of the must see locations. And everyone we spoke to asked us if we were going to see the lakes. So the lakes we did see.

They are beautiful. A really stunning shade of blue and green. The forests surrounding them also picturesque. The day was sunny. The temperatures were warm. And the crowds could rival NYC's Time Square. Not kidding.

There was one path to walk, and it was jam packed human traffic for the entire 7 kilometers that we walked the park. The leisurely 20-minute ferry ride was preempted by an hour and a half wait in the sun.

Again, the lakes were gorgeous and I am not trying to be a negative Nancy but if you've ever seen a breathtaking mountain lake then, by all means, avoid Plitvice Lakes at the height of the tourist season.
