Plitvice Lakes

On the way back from the beach we stopped to see plitvice jezera, which is national park made up of a series of lakes and waterfalls. I have always wanted to visit the lakes but each time that we've come to Croatia in the past it has been in the winter and not a good time to enjoy the water. We walked for 3 hours looking at different lakes and waterfalls. We saw the lower lakes. To see both the lower and the upper lakes would take at least 7-8 hours. It was amazing. One of the lakes we saw was 47 meters (154 ft) deep. The water is crystal clear and the waterfalls are beautiful.

Emma loved looking at the fish and the ducks. The water was so clear that you easily see all of the fish.
