| Lots of climbing and waterfalls |
Day 24 - When we woke in Plitvice the sun was shining and the skies were blue, so we decided to the walk again and to a further point. It is so beautiful when the sun is out. We walked for three hours up and down the various lakes. When we got back to the car to leave we were tired but we had a three hour ride to Split to recoup. The weather here is so very varied. In Plitvice it was warm, high sixties. As we were driving across the mountains it turned cloudy and very cool, high forties. When we got to Split it was in the high seventies.
Getting to our hotel was a little adventure. The GPS led us to a little back street of residential houses. We drove around a bit seeing if we missed a turn. No luck. Finally we stopped a man who was walking on the street and asked him for directions. He spoke very little English. After trying to understand what he was saying, he indicated that he would take us to the hotel. We let him in the car and we ended driving around the block. He pointed for us to make a right turn on what appeared to be a driveway. As soon as we made the turn the hotel was right in front of us. It was tucked away just off the main road. I don't think we would have found it without him. We wanted to give him some money for his efforts, but he just shook his head, smiled and walked away.
We explored Split a little, went back to the room to relax and then went for dinner.
