Day 7 - Blogabond

Not much to report again today. Mostly a nice drive from Rovinj to our hotel near Plitvice Lakes. We stopped for lunch in a seaside resort called Opatija. Very Austrian, definitely high class, and pretty boring as well. I'm wondering if this country has a middle ground between tacky and yawn-inducing.

After Opatija, the drive was quite scenic. Large mountains and huge valleys of farmland, and so we had to stop for cheese - well worth it. Then we drove through dense Forest, very reminiscent of South Dakota.

We got to our hotel about 3 - too late and too hot to start on the lakes. So instead, around 7, we went riding, a one hour Trail ride through the Forest, which was even more beautiful on horseback. Since it was a walking ride, Ellery was left frustrated, so we'll be back tomorrow so she can get some galloping in.
