Plitvice Travel Blogs

Barbara (Babeci) is our tour guide today. Unfortunately she speaks German to our group. I prefer English. We are on our way to the Plitvice Lakes and passing a lot of houses which are damaged in the Second World War and also the war of the ’90s. You can see the bullet holes in the houses. We also…

Leaving Venice, the train passed through Slovenija and it was breathtaking. The scenery was like a combination of the best of Canada and New Zealand: Rolling mountains covered in pine trees pastelled with the vibrant fiery colours of autumn making the scene beyond magnificent. The Slovenijans on th…

We decided to head to the coast on Monday to avoid the weekend crowds since we were stopping at Plitvička Jezera National Park on the way.  We piled into the bright orange 1974 Renault 5 and headed south into the countryside.  The roads are good, but the drivers are... I don't know, insane?  …

Here are some photos of my latest holiday to Rab(Croatia)

Springtime

Round 3 of my European trips...Did the Volvo Overseas Delivery Program for my new Volvo S60R :) Picked up my car in Sweden, then went through Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Slovenia, stayed a while in Croatia, then spent some time in Germany.

Just went arround Croatia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Serbia. I just wonder how it was possible to destroy a such beautiful country! The people of the new countries are all very nice, proud and corect. Is it possible that just the difference of religion made them kill each other!? I can not believe that!

There are a number of National Parks in Croatia as well. They all looked nice in the tour book, but lord am I happy we chose to go to Plitvice National Park. It's a bit out of the way (about a two hour drive) for the coastal visitor, but well worth it. After purchasing your ticket you hop on a bus …

So after my Croatian night-time adventure, I wake up the next morning and it's absolutely pouring with rain.  The sort of rain that doesn't look like it will stop for the rest of the day.  Great for visiting a national park of lakes & waterfalls.  I just sat there for a while say…

Plitvice National Park, famous for its endless waterfalls and turquoise water is definalty not an easy place to get to without a car if you're not on the main route from Zagreb south. After much trying to work it with no success we'd almost given up until leaving Rab we meet a couple of South Afric…

3-week trip to Croatia in September 2008 (Just a few photos for now - I'll add more later, and possibly write something about the trip)

We went to Zivcovic Kosa with our children to see my parents.

Day 9: After breakfast, head to Trogir, the center of artistic activities. Scholars from around the world gather to study and paint here. Then, turn inland and journey to breathtaking Plitvice Lakes National Park. (B,D) Day 10: A full day to enjoy Plitvice Lakes National Park, listed as a UNESCO W…

    Technically speaking, we're in Split to write this entry, since there was no internet access at Plitivice National Park, despite the fact that there were hotels and restaurants (that did have internet for themselves).  But before I start to complain about the horrible servic…

This will be an ongoing collection of interesting vehicles from around the world
