Today, we went to the Plitvice Lakes National Park, even though it was gray and rainy out. Rainer was vascillating about whether or not he wanted to go, once we were there. I know and he knows that he can be a complainer sometimes, so I told him he could just wait for me, and chill in his warm, dry, comfortable car. We had camped out for 2 nights just a mile from this place, and judging by the food, I will be in no hurry to return to Croatia, so there was no way I was not going to see this place.
So, I was on my own. This place was really beautiful; amazing, actually. There really are thousands of waterfalls; they just seem to shoot out from everywhere as you hike down from lake to lake. The most interesting thing I saw was a waterfall that was maybe four feet or so in width. Its water coursed though a hole in the ground. I have never seen a waterfall shoot straight through the ground in that way.
Despite the rain, the lakes were still very aquamarine. The whole place reminded me a lot of Semuc Campey in Guatemala, and in some parts, of Iguazu Falls, where Argentina, Brasil, and Paraguay meet. I have never been to Niagara Falls, even though I am from New York. Some day.
