Croatia:- Aug 25- 31
Hiking around krka, plitvice and many other places, Rest would call it as plenty leg work.
Some 9 or more miles day.
Croatia,the first introduction to the country was from one of the pictures had seen of Plitvice national park and second would be one couple who was there on earlier trek.Some bits and pieces here and there. How was this place selected, not sure just random. Because I felt like. Had nice flight going & coming back after dolomites trek alone.
The first entry from the airport to the Dubrovnik and the board beams "unstoppable" and "Run 2020" & some others .....
Taxi driver was great and did point out couple nice things to do around, islands to visit etc.
Was nice to see full blown sunny spell all around. Walking around the city walls with an individual who has lived through war was right way to experience it through his eyes and had great time , earlier could have done some other things but opted for just some walk around same area.That evening was end of some symphony orchestra in the square and was delight to experience that with the masses. The peacock island to visit and walk around is nice but from my personal point of view I wanted / would have done plenty water activities or activities rather than just leg works everywhere. Finally after little back and forth opted for some boat ride and those who saw me sitting would know literally where I sat :)
Plitvice national park hiking around, a typical touristic place and someone was insistent to walk opposite to crowds to skip all best views.That was an ....n'ways
The caves later and experiencing, seeing bats was cool. The kid in the group was very smart and very good listener,so was the guide. There was going to be some bat watching night but had to leave further so ...

The museum atop hill and sunset over town turns magic spell on old city. would have been nice to
have reached here earlier or hiked earlier to explore area at the top, there were some horse rides too. One of the best part was seeing upclose meteorite with its tail fiery lights passing right in front of eyes. At first I couldn't believe I spotted and saw it just in front, once in a blue moon things like these can happen.
Ston walls walking around 12 in the afternoon, its really nice section, if one has seen kumbhalgadh, or some have seen Chinese wall, something on the similar lines. The fruit stall vendor at the start of the wall can provide good options post or pre , as per one's interest and choice.
The car carrying ferry services, just like here or one experienced in Ireland or many other places are nice options to get to destinations, avoiding unnecessary travel time and doing things one wants to
do.
do.
Old heritage town in Split, farmers markets, Havr island and finally got a chance to take a first dip in the ocean at least 30 minutes.
Magic of music, mood and atmosphere, kudos to the singer and his selection of songs.
Krka National park, hiking around and yes, did enter water and en-route waterfall met one couple from Switzerland ,it was nice company.

Some tractor rides and nice family meet ( grandmother who really wanted to speak to me and her grandson was the mediator for everything , as she knew German and I knew English) Nice trio to share front seat of tractor. They shared quite a lot of information about Croatia and kids mom had recently taken her boat licence etc.
From old to young biking was the way of moving around and it was really nice to see. Finally walking around Zagreb, the loudest music in the busy street and some other things...
All in all may be 9 / 10 miles day of leg work. Very nice place with many mountains, islands and in
reality one can opt for many other things to do.
