I would have replied sooner ,but I was visiting my son in Montana—another great place!

Plitvice is worth a one day side trip if you like waterfalls and beautiful scenery. Plan on a lot of walking – we kept seeing signs “to the boat” (at the end of the trail, you cross the water is a small boat) but it was a long hike .

Excellent photos of the lakes and waterfalls are available on-line.

I would also recommend Omis – on the coast south of Split. We took a small boat upriver to an old mill for lunch. Bread baked in outdoor ovens. Ask locally if this is still available, as I was there 27 years ago!
