It was very grey and overcast in Croatia, so we decided to visit Krka National Park rather than staying on the beach. We drove there in light rain, but when he arrived there was a large thunderstorm, so we drove back to Sibenik and did some shopping. My Parents decided to go down to Trogir again and we risked returning to Krka National Park

Entry to the park is via a fleet of buses/coaches that left when they were full - every 10 minutes or so, and these travelled down the hairpin bends to the valley floor, and to the one of the many water falls.

There are many different walks around the series of fallls and though some of the caves and buildings.

While we were there we had another large thunderstorm. It was at this point we made three discoveries.

The first was that Paul had left his mack in Mum and Dad's car. The second was that Mark and Pauls macks were not very water proof in this type of rain. and Thirdly that the camera cases had more need of keeping dry than us.

We got very wet.

But when the sun returned we dried very quicky.

The Valley is huge and in one day we only saw a small fraction. So see this Park at its best we needed to take a river trip, but on this visit we were too late.

The clould level was just above the mountain level where the top of the car park was at Skradin where we entered the Park.

The Krka National Park was established in 1985 and protects the area around the middle and lower areas of the River Krka. The river flows down through a series of lakes and rapids and the beautiful Roski Slap and Skradinski Buk waterfalls. At the centre of the park is a largelake, Lake Visovac, below the Roski Slap waterfalls. Here the Krka River joins up with the River Cikola, flows over Skradinski Buk waterfalls and out to the sea.

Inside some of the caves were water wheels and other machinary.
