Time to take a day off from biking. We decided to take the extra time to bus to Plitvichka National Park. The places was pretty amazing to see, as it is filled with 50 lakes flowing and, here it comes, waterfalling into one another! In fact, the park houses the largest waterfall in Croatia, although Im not too sure how many waterfalls there are in Croatia. I even got my nerd on looking at all the lakes, which are filled with this awesome algae that makes each pool shimmering green!
We also executed one of our most epic fails yesterday: we waited for the bus back to Zadar on the wrong side of the road....ooooops. Scott blamed Andrew and I, Andrew blamed me, so I guess it was my fault. ANYWAY.....We watched our bus drive up and drive away thereby stranding ourselves in the cold mountains. Nothing left to do but stick out a thumb! Just when the sun was beginning to set, two guys going all the way back to Zadar (a long ride) picked us up! Missing the bus turned out better than expected! We got to listen to some good Croatian jams, see the countryside, talk to some super nice Croatians, and even drink some homemade liquor! The driver had a mountain house outside of Zadar, where we stopped and tried his home-brew. Making liquor seems to be quite the common tradition here in Croatia. Our breed was flavored with herbs, but Jacob said his mother made some with oranges and cherries. Once tipsy and warm, we headed back to Zadar for more Karlovochka (cheep beer).
Unfortunately, this is the conclusion of Andrews leg of the bike trip. Scott and I have not a clue where to go next, but I´m sure we will mull it over some homemade schnapps and figure out something awesome!
