Day 18: Plitvice National Park

Jakub, our lovely hostel guy, called up his friend across the street, who happened to manage one of the hotels within the park and got him to drive us right up to the entrance.  So, we got ready, ate some salami, of course, and got ready for a day jam packed with waterfalls. We spent the entire day (11-5) hiking (more like just walking) around the entire park. It was absolutely breathtaking.  The sound of rushing water was EVERYWHERE and it was green and gorgeous all around. 

We were really disappointed because you’re not allowed to swim in any part of the park, even though there’s water EVERYWHEREEEE, and we were getting a little bit sweaty from all the walking, soooo we broke the rules.

We stuck our feet in the water for a good while and we kind of in the way WOOPSIES! After exploring a cave and the rest of the park, we caught the tram back to the Grabovac and made some dinner.  The kitchen we were sneaking into was still open!! So  we made lots of swirly pasta with a bolognese sauce and meat that was definitely not beef. And of course we ate Princesa cookies too! We had some leftovers for the morning too!

We watched the Hugh Laurie show that had been on the last night and then Gossip Girl came on. I always thought this show was so lame, but dang! it is addicting, especially when it’s the only show in English.  We finished the night by watching a really weird movie with Kramer in it.
