Thank you for refreshing my memory! Took my kids to what was then Yugoslavia in 1985 and we visited Plitvice. Were warned not to stray from the paths as there were wild bears in the woods, so of course my son wanted us to head into the hills... The clear water in lakes and the sea was beautiful to see.
We stayed in a hotel just outside Zadar.

Do you mean the famous ones ?

Yes - those famous ones - did you bump into a young couple videoing themselves - the guy has a heck of a job stoping himself falling over his girlfriend :) I think she's a little camera shy tho!! :)

Ah, young love. Were you not like that once ?

I've forgotten. I guess I was young once. But never made it to The Famous Plitvice Lakes, unless, of course, I've forgotten that too.

Yep - but used to fall on top of mine - but didn't get any complaints :)

You've forgotten again!! Don't worry it really is just your age - by the way they call them the Infamous Plitvice Lakes now - they are a Fun place apparently :)

We drove to The Famous Plitvice Lakes in our camper and documented the whole thing on video, enjoy!

Don't worry about the noises off. It'll be visiting time soon and after that they'll be taken back to bed. :)

Loved the video, was there ourselves end of August-September and went to the lakes which we loved, however Croatia didn't do it for us, in fact we couldn't get out of there fast enough - enjoyed your holiday more than ours though :LOL::LOL::LOL:

Overcrowded campsites that resembled gypsy sites, and some of the small villages the satnav took us through on the way to the lakes were more like war zones than neighborhoods - some of the buildings still had no doors an windows in yet people were still living there, it seemed like a very poor country - inland - coastline and the lakes were very nice = end of IMO ... we headed straight back to Slovenia.

I think this is a really good example of peoples differing tastes; We went to Croatia for third time this year and absolutely loved it. Would agree that some of the campsites are a bit crowded but the scenery is amazing, some lovely towns and the sea is lovely and clear and the sun shined on us with a nice breeze. Wonderful.

But one mans meat another mans poison as they say.
