Plitvička jezera: Plitvice Lakes (the food)

There is an incredible national park called Plitvice Lakes in Croatia. Jessie had been angling on going there since before we even left the States. It's a UNESCO world heritage site. 16 interlocking tiered lakes separated by hundred of waterfalls surrounded on 3 sides by mountains. The natural minerals of each of the lakes gives it a unique color, azure, green, grey or blue and every shade in between.

We stayed at a small guest-house in the mountainous slopes around Plitvice. When we first arrived on our long bus ride from Zagreb we asked the tourist information people how to find the address we were given. They said if we cut through the park it would be 1-2 miles and if we took the roads it's would be 6-7 miles! We were a little taken aback, but after inquiring further, it turned out the family that ran our guest house also sold home made strudel about 15 feet from where the bus dropped us off.
