Plitvice lakes in Spring - the sun was hidden behi

Plitvice lakes in Spring - the sun was hidden behind the clouds so water was less blueish than expected, but hey, there were no people!

Just wow. Bosnian gem: Štrbački buk. Beware, the entry fee to this magnificent waterfall is cca 50 cents...

Bosnia is actually becoming my favorite travel loc

Bosnia is actually becoming my favorite travel location, shamefully we spent only two nights there during our spring holiday. But we stayed in one of the best hotels in Bihać area, which was located just next to the beautiful waterfall, Kostelski buk, which is also the hotel name. There are plenty of such waterfalls on Una river, but more of those will be posted later.

Funny thing was the dinner. We were there at the time of Ramazan and most of the population in this part is Muslim, so after the sunset, the hotel restaurant was completely full of nicely dressed families, who were obviously waiting for some meal. The staff didn't even want to let us in without reservation, but since the hotel is kinda in the middle of nowhere, we said that we were hotel guests and got a place. We received usual menu and weird stuff started happening, because everybody else started receiving many meals of obviously predefined menu, but we didn't. And it wasn't even offered to us. Some families were also kinda weird, they sat together at the table, but looked bored as hell and didn't say a word. Well, family gatherings are the same everywhere.

Nevertheless, we ordered some meals and received them, tasted good. But the portions were soooo big... When did you last order a trout and got two whole fish? 😃 But it's customary in Bosnia that the guest should have enough food, so that's he leaves something on the plate, so I guess that was the reason.

Many little waterfalls with super clear water aren't that uncommon in the balcan countries, but before this year I've actually never heard of Slunj Rastoke not very far from Plitvice lakes in Croatia. The weather was rather bad the day we visited it on our way to Bosnia, but it was still kinda nice and fortunately not so many people were there.

The Cape Kamenjak, the southernmost part of Istria

The Cape Kamenjak, the southernmost part of Istria peninsula and a beautiful natural reservation. Normally it's kinda crowded with tourists and swimmers, but in April it's still off-season and it was kinda empty, and also the entrance was free. The water was a bit chilly though.

Between Opatija and Lovran there is 9km promenade

Between Opatija and Lovran there is 9km promenade named after Franz Josef (because Istria used to be part of Austro-Hungarian empire) and it's a beautiful sea side walk full of hidden beaches, rocks and huge villas and hotels from the empire era. Makes a very nice walk.

There's a huge canyon on Istria called Vela Draga,

There's a huge canyon on Istria called Vela Draga, which is just few hundred meters away from the end of tunnel under the Učka mountains. It's quite close to Rijeka, so it wasn't surprising that it was kinda hard to park there, especially during the Easter season. Istria is kinda popular during this spring time, especially for Germans. The views were magnificent.

Our first day on Istria we did a small hike into Učka national park to see so called Brgudačka Korita, wooden troughs from which cattle and people from the surrounding villages were used to get water from. It was renovated just a few years ago and obviously doesn't serve its purpose anymore, but it makes really nic Instagram pictures, right?

Flamingos in nature park of Valle Cavanata near Grado in north-eastern Italy. It's a not so large flat area just next to the shallow sea which is home to many species of birds and especially these beautiful flamingos.

Even though Venice in April probably wasn't too crowded, we did what we usually do in busy places - woke up early to see the main sights. We weren't alone at the Doge's palace, but it was almost empty. And sunrise light was just a bonus.

I haven't been to Venice since I was a small child

I haven't been to Venice since I was a small child, so we wanted to give this mecca of tourism a try. In April it wasn't actually too crowded, but of course it was still very busy. On our first day there we walked around and then took Vaporetto around the city, which to me is one of the best things you can do (definately buy multiday public transport ticket), because you will see the beautiful palaces from great perspective.

Seeboden is a touristy location, especially during summer when the lake is warm enough to swim. But in April, it was kinda empty. We really enjoyed various historic villas by the main road though.

Millstatt has hundreds years old monastery. Here you can see just a glimpse of the church, but I thought it captures its atmosphere anyway.

When we got to Egelsee, it was completely covered with fog, but as we stood there, it started to rise. One of the most beautiful Austrian lakes I've seen.

When we arrived to Millstatt in April, it was snow

When we arrived to Millstatt in April, it was snowing heavily, so when we went to see Egelsee the very next day, everything was still covered with snow and it was truly a winter wonderland. On our way down a bit later the snow was already gone.
