Hey travellers!
Last week I was on my eleventh vacation this year, but this time I took my mom with me instead. My mom is one of the best travel gals because we are almost the same and want to see the same things. We planned a 4-day road trip, during which we wanted to see two different destinations.
The first one was Plitvice Lakes, which either of us hadn’t seen yet. The second destination was Baška, a beach city on the island of Krk, where we just wanted to lay down on the beach and relax for one day. We are not the type of people that would spend a week on a beach, so one day was perfectly enough.
Plitvice is a national park full of waterfalls and clear blue & green lakes. The whole park is adjusted to tourists, so there were wooden paths all over the place, so we didn’t do much hiking. Unfortunately even in this off-season time, it was very crowded.
There is several trails, some of them are above the park, so we could see the whole place from up there and some of them are directly between the waterfalls and lakes. Also you can take the local bus or boat to get from one side of the park to the other one. The ride-tickets are included in the entrance fee.
Baška is holiday destination on the island of Krk about 3 hours away from Plitvice. There is one long pebble beach, but there is small-grained sand in the water. It only took me about an hour to get bored from just laying on the beach. I decided to take our GoPro and do some under-water pics which came out pretty great since the water is so beautiful and clean. Almost like in a swimming pool! We had a drink and decided to rent a jet ski to have some fun.
We stayed in a hotel right on the beachfront where we also had an amazing fish dinner:)
After the dinner it was already time to head back home… It took us about 10 hours to drive back.
Have you been to one of these places? I definitely recommend it!!!
