Feels good to be on the road again – we picked up a very, very cheap rental car in Rijeka,* and got to spend some time exploring while hunting for the rather hidden little office, then started making our way south. It took a while to remember how to navigate using maps and such, which means we’re already half a day behind, but with one of Croatia’s most beautiful natural areas already under our belts (more photos to come when there’s more time), I’m feeling very good about the journey. We’re hoping to head into proper wilderness in Montenegro soon, so no updates for a week or so, though we might have to retreat to society for a shower at some point. Until then, witness the tourist brochure that is inland northern Croatia.

Just a field

A couple of the Plitvice Lakes. An extraordinary walk.

*Thanks, internet! Also, you know you’ve been in Europe too long when a car the company describes as ‘super-compact’ seems ridiculously large.
