Today was somewhere we have been looking forward to going to, and it absolutely didn’t disappoint! Krka National Park is one of Croatia’s best known attractions, and it’s easy to see why. The naturally colourful pools provide a spectacular backdrop as you take a gentle stroll along the boardwalk that takes you through the park. There are plenty of viewpoints where you can take in the falls and admire the beauty happening below. It was an incredibly tranquil place and I would recommend this to anyone visiting Croatia. One thing to bear in mind is swimming is now prohibited to protect the biodiversity within the park. That does however mean views and photos that are free of people!
Once we had finished the walk around the park, we boarded a boat to Skradin, a small town along the Krka River. As we love a viewpoint, we headed to the fortress on the hill. As with most heights so far this trip, the steps on the way up were a tad uneaven, but it’s all part of the fun! It was time for lunch so we stopped at one of the restaurants that lined the colourful street. As I wasn’t that hungry, I decided to order a cucumber salad. The waiter must have been howling to himself as he presented me with a plate with an entire cucumber cut up 🥒 whilst I was expecting cucumber to be the main ingredient.. I wasn’t expecting it to be the only ingredient! However a bit of salt and pepper and emergency chips managed to save the meal.
It’s our last night in our Drvenik pad as we head over to Dubrovnik tomorrow via Mostar. So I couldn’t resist having a glass of Croatian wine with dinner tonight. It was delicious! Look out Tesco’s Croatian wine section.. I’m coming for you 🍷
