Plitvice Lakes

OH.

MY.

GOD.

This has to be the most beautiful place on earth.

We hiked for 5.5 hours and didn't even see all of it.  I want to stay here forever and ever!

A short video of one of the babbling brooks:

The water is crystal clear - you can see to the bottom of all the lakes.

Look at the tree trunks in this water!

This guy was just walking down the path without a care in the world:

You can see the ducks' feet while they swim!

We climbed all the way through and to the top of this cave. Shannon was so proud, while I was mostly just grumpy. See those people waaaaaayyyyyy down at the bottom?

This was the Big Waterfall - quite amazing.

And some parting shots:

Definitely one of the most beautiful places on earth.
