Wednesday 20th June
We spend a day looking for the Land Rover garage to get another quote for the damage to the door as the one we had in Italy never made it to the insurance company. We have to wait 10 days for the quote to be translated; this big delay does not fill our hearts with joy.
We later find a Truma outlet where we can take our caravan to get the water heater fixed and book the caravan in for the following Tuesday.
Thursday 21st June
We head for the Plitivice lakes, we have been told by many people that these are most beautiful and are a must see. We were not disappointed; it was such a tranquil, calming and truly beautiful place. There are tranquil lakes with golden coloured fish swimming close to the surface and even a few Crayfish can be spotted if you are lucky. Soothing waterfalls ranging from a gentle trickle to a thunderous torrent provide the calming melody of nature. There are many boardwalks taking you across the lakes and the path through the surrounding wood twists and turns that the boys didn’t seem to mind walking and the moaning was kept to a minimum. The fact that a train ride and a boat ride are included in the price also helped with the boys’ enjoyment. This place is truly a gem and a place not to be missed, if you don’t go anywhere else in Croatia, you must go here.
