Today I spent the whole day hiking in one of the most picturesque places in Europe.
The Plitvice Lakes in Croatia are only a couple of hours from Zagreb, but the huge waterfalls and lake systems are like from a postcard.
The upper lakes were closed, and for good reason! We tried to hike some of it, but the path was literally iced over, or completely under water in some parts!
I am staying in a nearby town and hitched a ride with some American Girls to the place. All of the hostels here are really just people's homes, with the upper floor converted into a series of bedrooms for people to rent out.
The woman I am staying with speaks literally no English, and the only Croatian I know is thank you, which I don't think applied when trying to ask for my passport back!
The views are amazing though, and I can see the milky way from my bed, so it's not all bad!
Tomorrow, more hikes xx
