Thursday 24th August Opatija, Krk and Plitvika jezera.

We started our morning early today going for a walk along the waters edge, before breakfast. And more pinch me moments Opatija is gorgeous, beautiful views everywhere! 

Yep up this early to go for the most lovely walk along the boardwalk

The yacht club bistro we had a seafood platter at the night before

Think I know a few VIP girls, might like to lounge around on the Moët lounges by the sea!

This blokes loves a scratch!

Our friend!

One of the many typical hotels around here.

Yes this would be very hard to take around here

Had our breakfast at the hotel and packed and ready to head to Krk by nine. Ivana and Ned told us about Krk, so while we are in the area why not go and check it out! Arrived around 10am to a jumping tourist town, plenty of cute shops meandering around in the old town, much to Peters disgust. The harbour has heaps of boat 🚣 trips coming and going. After a walk around Ivana messaged me to see Malinska, so sat nav on, we found it. Just another beautiful beach town. Peter joined the locals for a swim and loved it, as the water is so buoyant.

Krk town square very cute

Krk harbour full of boat tours of all sorts

First swim of the holiday in the Adriatic Sea

Back on the road flying though the amazing highways to Plitvicka, and Peter is loving scarring the shit out of me, around the mountains! I’m trying to just roll with it and channel Jo – weeeeeeeee! His quote to me if you can’t handle this don’t come riding with us! 

We stopped in a outback Croatian village for a drink and bite to eat, before arriving in Plitvice around 5ish.

Who knew Jess and Nick had a town named after them!

Our accomodation in Plitvice – really nice, feel like I’m at a ski resort

 Dumped our bags and headed for Entrance No1, to be told the park is now closed. Miss FOMO is having a melt down! All the reading I’ve done, saying get there late it’s open til 8pm – – – – ! 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 So back to the car to sook, but Alas! A sneaky track beside our car, hello Plitvice! Crowds are leaving we have it nearly to ourselves, although the sun is going down, it’s still BEAUTIFUL! yes get used to it, way to many photos, we both got into Overdrive! 

The big waterfall

So peaceful at this time of the day,as we saw this from above the next day it was ridiculous!

So after a pretty big day, went back to our chalet and had a drink on the rocking chair out the front then a bowl of soup and the local brandy power pack, and bed!
