Croatian Vacation

Just recently, Kaili and I decided we needed to throw in a more exotic destination into our list of places we have visited...and after tossing a few ideas around, we figured Croatia was perfect for us. Not only is it a beautiful up-and-coming beach destination, it is also very close to Italy, just one convenient overnight ferry away. So we decided to just go ahead and take a second spring break and go during the week, since our weekends were packed with other trips that were already planned. (I know what you're thinking, what about classes?? Well it just so happened we had enough absences left to cover our whole stay...talk about a reward for never skipping class) We really enjoyed Croatia, so obviously it was well worth it in the end!

We stayed in Split, Croatia, but on our first day we decided to venture a few towns over to see one of the most beautiful places Croatia had to offer. A couple of bus rides later we arrived at the Krka National Park...one of Croatia's main sites to see and home of some breathtaking waterfalls!

Here are some pictures to give you an idea of this park's UNbelievable natural beauty!
The main waterfalls...they are insane!!!


This wooden pathway went through the entire park...it was the most incredible scenery walking through all of the trees with all of the water rushing around us!

We obviously had to put our feet in! It was very chilly but refreshing for sure.

The next day, Kaili and I stayed in Split. First, we ventured into town and saw a beautiful old castle, and then climbed the Bell tower to get some great panoramic views of the city.

And then of course, in true Kaili and Becca fashion, we laid on the beach and got some sun. It was a great way to top of our quick little adventure. The water was absolutely beautiful and you just really can't beat mountains and ocean all in the same view!


Although the trip was a quick one, and rather last minute, it was still a great time. For the short time we were there, we saw some amazing things--the waterfalls definitely were my favorite. I am so happy that we went--you just have to take advantage of your surroundings while you're here! As always, thanks for reading, it means so much!

Ciao, 
Becca
