Krka National Park

Today we took a little boat ride to visit the Krka national park waterfalls. It cost 80 kuna (about $16) and the views were pretty amazing. The park is located pretty close to a major tourist destination, Sibenik. They had a pretty impressive power plant that is no longer in use but dates back to 1895 and was operating 2 days after Niagra Falls electric plant was opened. The park has 17 waterfalls and seems to be endless. Bethany described it to be similar to The Road to Hana in Hawaii. The largest fall is around 150ft. The Krka river also provided energy for a mill. Dating back to the 19th century the mills grind grain, wash and tread cloth, etc. Our pictures will show some of the beauty along with the functionality of the falls. Thanks for all the anniversary wishes, we had a great day and received gifts from both the crew and the owners! Life is good, God is good :)
