Following the interview we set off for Plitvice National Park which is the only place we have regretted not booking accommodation in advance. Our research had led us to believe there was a village or two you could wander around looking for rooms… but it was not obvious which way to walk when we got off the bus. So, we went and asked information and rather than telling us where to walk they offered to call someone for us. The problem was it was too far away to walk to the park and we would have to rely on them for lifts. We looked at the pouring rain outside and agreed to take it.
It was like staying with relatives who don’t really want you there. We were obviously in a kids room. Two small twin beds, bright coloured mobiles and stuffed toys. We were also not welcome in the family area so felt confined to our room. On the plus side the park was amazing!!
From there we headed to Bled in Slovenia for more walking, a fairytale castle and stunning scenery. After that it was time for some cities so we explored Vienna learning what a good museum really is (we’ve seen a lot of museums in the past year and a bit, but nothing like the ones in Vienna). Currently we’re in Poland crossing two more of the original 12 UNESCO world heritage sights off our list (half way there now). Krakow old town is made more charming by the constant stream of horses and carriages (but the lack of poop thanks to the poop buckets) and the carvings in the salt mines were impressive to say the least.
