Split is in the Dalmation Region of Croatia. This is where Dalmation dogs originate.
We journeyed through Croatia's beautiful countryside to Krka National Park where we visited the astonishing Travertine Skradinski Buk cascading waterfalls. Breathtaking! These 17 cataracts are considered to be among the most beautiful calcium carbonate waterfalls in Europe, tumbling a total of 150 feet along a 1,312 foot stretch of the river. At their widest point, they span 328 feet across. We enjoyed spectacular views of the foamy cascades and their crystal clear aquamarine pools all along our one hour walk in the park. We also visited a small ethnological exhibit and a restored water mill. We had ample free time to take many photos.
We then hopped on a boat, rode down the Krka River to the town of Skradin (skra-deen) for a four course lunch. We didn't need supper. Later, we hopped on the bus and returned to the ship. On our own, we quickly visited Split, Croatia's second largest city. Zagreb is by far the largest.
Regarding geocaching, Bob is meeting his goal of of at least one cache per country.
It's really difficult to resist the gelato in the World Cafe. Each night there are 10 different flavours. The only one that's there each night is strawberry, Bob's favourite. Wow!
Don't resist the food.....you can loose it when you get home. You won't (maybe) get another chance to eat like this again. Crackers and cheese at CASA.
