Yesterday we spent the day at Plitvice National Park, a UNESCO protected area full of gorgeous turquoise lakes and beautiful waterfalls. Most of the lakes are rather shallow and cascade one into the other.  The colour of the water is magnificent – blue, sapphire, turquoise, green; words don’t do it justice.  The waterfalls flow through limestone and mist.  The park is well touristy though, and we encounter hordes of people along the main paths.  Sample of photos below.
