After our hot, sweaty day of hiking at the beautiful Plitvice Lakes National Park, we are happily on our way to Zadar, a city on the Dalmatian coast. We were looking forward to a much needed refreshing shower and a little sightseeing, but as luck would have it, everything is booked out. Not a single room available in the entire city!
So we calmly (not really!) sat in the bar drinking a beer we did not want in order to have internet to book a room which apparently did not exist. Croatia wake up! Open your houses! Make money!
Name: Guesthouse Samolov
Address: 19B, 53223, Gornje Vrhovine, Croatia
Desperately needing a room after our Zagreb lodging fiasco, we found a guesthouse on booking.com close to the Plitvice Lakes National Park. Although we had not intended on visiting the forest reserve so early, we rolled with the punches and changed our plans. Read about Zagreb, what to see and do.
We pulled in late afternoon and our hosts rolled out the red carpet! Such a wonderful, welcoming family. They sat with us at a huge al fresco table so we could complete check in. All at once a tray with coffee, juice, water and nibbles arrived and we all proceeded to chat amiably as we sipped away on refreshments – a true country welcome!
