Croatia Day 5: Waterfalls, waterfalls, waterfalls at Skrandinski Buk

Usually CBC and I like to do our own thing rather than going on organised tours, but when it came to finding our way to the Krka National Park, home to the stunning Skradinski Buk waterfalls, we decided to go on an organised excursion.  We went to Splitlicious, a company who different daily excursions and set off in a minibus with 5 other people and a crazy Communist driver who saw it as his mission to fill us in on misconceptions in British and American understanding of Croatian/Yugoslavian history. We drove to the river Krka and took a boat into the National Park, where we could access the variety of waterfalls through a series of wooden walkways. I think the photos speak for themselves so I shall restrict myself to a few comments here and there.  Enjoy...

The river Krka on the way into the National Park

The only place in Skrandiski Buk where you can swim.

The wooden walkways make it really easy to walk round, even with buggies.

There were lots of these fish in pools. We laughed lots because the first pool seemed to have tadpoles, then there were small fish, then bigger fish, even bigger and so on.We were expecting sharks by the end.

We caught sight of this snake in the water. It is harmless though there are other harmful snakes in Croatia including the Horn-nosed viper.

The ducks enjoyed the waterfalls.

At the end, I went in for a swim though the sun had gone behind the clouds by then and it was a bit colder so I didn't stay in for long.

We then set off for the last leg of our journey that day...
