CAMELOT FANTASIES

During my stay in Zadar, we went on a guided tour to Plitvice Lakes National Park.
Normally I hate nothing more than guided tours but unfortunately there are only very few busses running from Zadar to Plitvice and back. That means if we had taken a bus, we would have only had 2 hours or even less in the park. The guided tour allowed us to spend 6 intensive hours in the park. I'm used to walk a lot but after 6 hours in the heat and basically running after the tour guide (who was very eager to show us everything in very little time), I thought I would die. There were 2 girls from Ireland going on the tour with us and one of them was wearing high heels. I wonder how her feet felt at the end of the day. 

Well, what's there to see in the park? Waterfalls, crystal clear waters, wildlife, untouched nature. All too beautiful to be true. My own pictures only reflect half of the beauty of the park. I think I was also too amazed by the landscapes so that I didn't take that many good pictures.









In the park itself I didn't see too many wild animals but on the way back home we visited a wildlife sanctuary which gives shelter to bears, deers and wild pigs which are still too young to live in the national park by themselves or which are injured.



Just found out that the bears living in the park are called "European Chocolate bears" (or European brown bears). They are sweet as chocolate indeed. I just wouldn't want to be attacked by one.
