Our last hurrah for our European adventures was a trip to Croatia. Our tour agency was called Huck Finn and was focused on kayaking and rafting. There were some city tours as well, but we didn't get to see much, because they were ultra fast. The reason why: in Croatia, there are strict rules about touring in cities. You have to have a license in order to be able to give tours, and the fine if you are caught touring without one is 25,000 kuna, or 5,000 dollars.
But other than the light-speed tours, everything was pretty good. The river-kayaking was very fun, and rafting on the river river Cetina was the best for me. Mom thought that the guide in our boat was very strict, but he had to have some control over the boat, because some of the steering required the other rafters to do some work steering as well, in order to avoid the branches on either side of the twisty-turny, narrow-ish river.
The Krka National Park waterfalls were really cool. We went there on the third day(?) and we went swimming near the waterfalls, walking on a boardwalk trail where we could see the beautiful waterfall (everything in Croatia is beautful!)up close and we bought some delicious dried figs at a little stand. They were probably the best figs I've ever tasted.
