The forecast for today, throughout the week, had been mixed and we were concerned our Plitvice Lakes experience would be dampened, literally. Though we walked the first section in light, short lived sprinkles, we had nothing to fear as the conditions for his amazing UNESCO site were perfect. These 16 lakes which are connected with gurgling cascades and thundering waterfalls were breath taking. A local guide led and explained throughout our three hour tour. This included much ascending and descending amazing networks of boardwalks and stairs and also two trips on electric boats which glided almost silently on the crystal clear alpine water. Expectations can be a bad thing, but I was in no way disappointed.
The afternoon journey to Slovenia was a real Austrian affair. The border neighbours have influenced the architecture and culture significantly. It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon drive to end our first week of treat number one.
