The Magical Plitvicka Jezera

Plitvice Lakes, or Plitvicka Jezera. However you want to say it, say it, or don't. I'm pretty sure every Croatian person I met pronounced it differently anyway. Whichever way you choose it will remain to be one of the most beautiful National Parks I've ever seen. Sea foam green, sometimes light blue, sometimes crystal clear water engulfs you from every angle. I honestly felt like a fairy was going to fly by me and sprinkle her fairy dust. The walking areas are somewhat frightening; a four foot wide wooden bridge with no hand rails, and only two feet between you and the water. Falling in wouldn't be the worst thing that happened, it's hot out and the water looked seriously refreshing, besides for the millions of fish swimming in circles (I hate fish). We got an early start knowing we had a very long six mile trek ahead of us in the scorching sun, beginning at the lower lakes, and finishing up at the upper lakes. Besides the view of the gorgeous, delicate waterfalls, I couldn't get enough people watching in: a foreign couple with their Pug t-shirts and their pug in a legitimate baby stroller, four young ladies from Indonesia that kept trying to get in our picture, Chinese tour groups that would not walk on the right side of the teeny bridge, two nomadic Americans in search of their next adventure; we experienced it all, while laughing and sweating along the way. Plitvicka, Plitvice, Plitvijka- thank you for showing us all your radiant beauty. We'll never forget you.
