Zadar —— The Legend of the Most Beautiful Sunset

After saying goodbye to the Plitvice Lakes National Park in the noon of May 9th, 2014, we four guys continuously drove to the city beside Adriatic Sea, Zadar, which is the fifth biggest city of Croatia. Zadar is famous of her beautiful sunset. Alfred Hichcock (1899-1980) said "Zadar has the most beautiful sunset in the world" when he visited here in 1964. At that time he never had the chance to see the Sea Organ and the Greeting to the Sun built in 2005. So, it is strongly suggested that if you would like to visit here, you should arrive before evening.

Plitvice Lakes National Park (Plitvička Jezera): The Lower Zone

In the morning of May 9th, 2014, we continued yesterday's visit to the Plitvice Lakes National Park, Croatia. Yesterday we went to the Upper Zone, so we visited the Lower Zone today. Visitors are always everywhere. Our team is four people and we separated into two groups afterwards. D & D wanted to stay and had a break. A & I went down to close to the water. Before going into the Park this morning, we just got it from the information center that because of a heavy rain days ago, the deeper part of the park was forbidden to get into. As a result when A & I walked and walked, we found the water was getting higher and higher. Some visitor took off the shoes and continued the way, but we stopped and got another shortcut to back to meet D & D. "Since having being here and then let's enjoy it" is a very important attitude for traveling to me. You may encounter many unexpected conditions during a journey, but only to keep happy will make you enjoy the course. However, I have watched  magnificent scenery today. The sunshine of Southern Europe is just brilliant!
