Under My Umbrella

Since we first looked at Croatia as a potential destination, our sights were set on Plitvice (pronounced Pleet-vee-tzeh) Lakes National Park. The pictures that come up when you google this place are incredible. It really raised my expectations quite high, which doesn't happen often. And you know what, it was even better than I imagined.

The park is made up of 16 natural lakes, most of which have beautiful, vivid turquoise colored water. There are tons of waterfalls throughout the park and there have been wooden walking trails laid out by the park to allow for all of it to be seen.

The park was truly awesome. It's one of those things that when you see in person, it's hard to believe it actually exists.

It rained the entire day, which was not ideal. The positive side of that is it also meant less people were there, which was nice because the paths are narrow and there are spots where you have to take a boat and the lines would be awful on a day with better weather.

Due to the weather, the pictures really don't capture how awesome this place is, but hopefully, you get the idea. We may just have to go back here when it's sunny.
