Heidi & Richard Bendel's travels

7 August, 06

We wanted to stay on longer in Baska, but we had to start heading South and now we had to drive all the way back along the same road to get off the island of Krk. We stopped in Krk town and were very happy that we did. It was gorgeous with really old narrow cobbled roads and old buildings. Lots of tourists once again! One must be careful where they park in Croatia, people just park anywhere and they block you in. We were blocked in along with a few others but luckily one driver arrived soon and we could all get out. They do not care and are very selfish in that way. We nearly got parked in again somewhere else!!
The roads are not very good even though the distances are not big, except for the highway which was built by the Americans. And then once you are on it if you miss a turn like we did there is no way off for at least half an hour.
We eventually arrived in Plitvicka Jezera. This is one of the National Park’s known for its many Beautiful lakes. We found another apartment – also a room- for two nights. They did our washing for us and let us make use of their computer. Really nice family- good people.
