4-star Hotel Degenija Plitvice in an area called Selište Drežničko was the one we chose and quite honestly, there weren't that many of them near the lakes. It was supposed to be a great time to visit Plitvice Lakes during the summer but we came at a terrible terrible time amid of the worst rain in 50 years. A lot of the roads were flooded and shuttle service to the lakes was suspended. I would much prefer to stay indoor at this time but since we're only staying here for less than 48 hours, we didn't have much time to work with. Looking out from the window, I kept praying that the rain would end soon but that's not going to happen.
Somehow I was finding it more depressing to stay in my hotel room. Yes, obviously they have a totally different standard when it comes to 4-star hotels in Croatia.
The decor was, should we say, very "homey"?
Thankfully, breakfast was included so we didn't have to venture out for food in the morning. This wasn't your typical breakfast hall, more like a living room of someone's house.
They've got it all from fried egg, bacon to seasonal fruit. So, no complaints from the person who's paying the bills (me).
We were struck out when we arrived at the park entrance yesterday afternoon. The park was so flooded that they didn't let anybody in. We decided to try our luck again by driving here early in the morning. Finally, persistence pays off!!!
Getting our rain coats ready.....
This is a very nice provincial park. Too bad we had to rush through it cuz it's raining hard and it's getting windy too.
But as picturesque as it might be, I still won't call it the most beautiful lake I have ever seen in my life.
That title goes to Lake Louise and Banff as a whole. Not even close.
One last look at the lakes and we're gone! Now we need to figure out where to get our very late lunch. It seems like nothing is open today on a Sunday.
