Croatia June 17-19


Getting to Croatia was quite the journey ... Jumped on the train at 7am and got to Zagreb around 1:30pm then we had to find a way to get to our bed and breakfast in Plitvice Jezera 120km away . Took a bus to main bus station and from there we paid 106 korunas (around $20) each to take a 2.5 hour bus ride to Plitvice. The bus ride was hotttttt!!!! The a/c barely worked so we were all sweaty . Felt like I was in Mexico driving around without a/c.

2.5 hours later after the bus stops and we get out we find out we're 15km from our bed and breakfast. . So we try hitch hiking for 3km... That didn't work so we go To this hotel nearby and ask them what we should do . The guy gets us a taxi and we finally get to our accommodation at 5pm . Took us 10 hours but we finally made it :).

Then the guy at the BnB was so awkward it was crazy...online it said they had laundry here so we were planning on washin all our stuff that hadnt been washed in a week and a half and it turns out we can't use the washer. Then he says we can just leave it with the old man who owns this place and he'll wash it for us... So strange to have some stranger washin all our stuff ... Anyway after a lot of confusion we give him our laundry and after its done hang our stuff up on the line outside to dry.

Next crazy thing ... There was bugs everywhere inside. In the hallway , bathroom, our room. The place was very clean but since it's a woodsy area there were bugs everywhere and Candace was freakin out ! No joke! It was hilarious ! Eventually we both fell asleep and Candace woke up with a bite in her toe :( still kinda funny though.

Anyway... We came to Croatia to go to plitvice lakes and let me tell you it did not disappoint ! Exceeded my expectations . So beautiful I must have taken over 200 pictures . Just amazed at how magnificent this earth is sometimes . God is so creative I don even know . Speechless . Don't know If anything will beat plitvice now ! See the pics and decide for yourself it's ridiculous . Totally worth the difficulty of gettin to Croatia.
