Our whole point of going to Croatia was to spend two days at the national park. Unfortunately due to high water levels, some parts of the lakes were close and so we were left with out second day completely free. We asked the lady who owned the apartment we were staying in what to do around the area and she suggested us to go to a little town called Slunj. It is there that the Lake Plitvice ends, and so we went.
It was a really small town and it did not take long for us to explore the whole area. What was really interesting to us was that the banks were closed at 2.30pm on a Tuesday afternoon! So we went to around looking for some food to eat and had such a big feast it was sinful.
We figured since we were in Croatia we might as well try something different and indeed we did. I ate bear proscuitto for the first time and I got to admit, I cannot say that it is my favourite dish. But aside from the daring new interesting platter, our other options were fantastic.
On the last night of our stay, the the lady owning the accommodation we stayed in gifted us hard liquour. I kid you not, it was really strong too. Unfortunately there was no way for us to bring it back to England or to finish it up (we would have gotten so pissed drunk) so we returned it to her with many apologies and a big thank you.
My stay in Croatia was short but sweet. I do intend to go back there one day and maybe do a road trip from Dubrovnik to Zagreb. I think it is a beautiful country and the encounters I had with the locals were amazing. They really are friendly and so warm and welcoming it is a must that I go back and learn more about their country and culture.
So I that is all from me about Croatia. I hope you had a great day and thanks for reading!
ps My next trip is to the Netherlands in June!
