Krka national Park, Croatia

This morning we started our adventure tour here in Croatia. The company we used is Croatia-ala-carte, a locally owned company based in the Split area. They are owned and operated by a real nice couple, Debbie and Ivan.


We drove about an hour North to the Krka National Park. The picture above is the tour company van we used to haul us and our mountain bikes they provided.


We warmed up riding through town. The guy in white is our private guide Tino. Just Florence and Greg on this tour.


Then we rode along this gorgeous lake up to some waterfalls at the head of it.


Here is Florence swimming just below the falls.
Yes, it was coooooold!!!!!





While the falls were small as compared to Iguazu Falls in Argentina, they were still beautiful.


The ride back.






They even had a small community set up there over 200 years ago and used the water to run milling stones to grind wheat, corn, etc.





On the way back we stopped to see this 2,000 year old olive tree. Still gives lots of olives for olive oil.


Here was one of Florence's famous food shots. Greek salad, fried cheese, and scampi lasagna. Yum.


After we cleaned up from an afternoon swim we did find a gelato shop.


One of the Kastle villages at dusk. Beautiful! A great day!
