Today we visited the Plitvice Lakes National Park in Croatia, which is an UNESCO World Heritage Site for natural beauty. I have never seen such incredible water before, or so many waterfalls in one place!
We saw hundreds if not thousands of waterfalls. The lakes were once a single river, coursing through this area... but buildups of rock and plantlife began forming in to barriers/dams separating the river in to partially connected lakes, and eventually created waterfalls cascading from one lake to the next lake!
We walked from the lower lakes all the way to the upper lakes (and we took a boat across the biggest lake, in the middle). We ended up where I am pointing at the end of the journey, and we took a tram back down to the lower lakes, where we met our Canadian friends who drove us home. 
Toshi took over 400 photos (but here are some highlights). The lakes are every shade of aquamarine, turquoise, blue, and green. You can't believe all the colors present in one landscape or the change in colors from one pool to the next. 
The fake worlds created by Disney and other movies try to look like this place, but this is real! (and completely natural)
