Plitvicka jezera, Croatia

We crossed into Croatia which in a few days on 1st July will become a member of the EU. We stopped at a petrol station and got caught up in a large group of bemused Australian farmers (according to their badges) who arrived at the same time.
After leaving the motorway we drove through pretty villages and into the mountains. Our destination was the Plitvicka jezera were they filmed part of the old cowboy films with Winnetou with his friend Old Shatterhand. We took a boat trip and walked along the lakeside and down passed three waterfalls until we came to the Great Waterfall which was pretty spectacular. The water was a fantastic turquoise colour and full of fish.
We then went for a meal and to a campsite to settle down for the night.
