Cooper's Perspective

In my opinion Croatia is the most beautiful country in the world, with its beautiful mountains and beaches. Hvar, where we stayed for one month, was rated the fifth most beautiful island in the world, according to our tour guide. I'm not surprised.

My sister and I went to the beach almost every day for the first week. We found an octopus, starfish, crabs and lots of sea urchins. The people who live there are so helpful and kind it's unbelievable! When we needed help on the bus about ten people helped us find our stop. I liked eating calamari and going to Nonica's cafè for her delicious cake, especially her tiramisu. Hvar was beautiful but it was the people who made it special for us.

Plitvice Lakes National Park was our next stop. We had to walk through a beautiful forest full of fall leaves and big rocks covered in moss to get to the river. Everywere I looked there was a waterfall, ranging from ten centimeters to fifty meters tall. They were all beautiful in their own way. Every time I  took a picture mom would say, "Oo i have a really good shot from here" or, "Coop, let me see the camera!"



In Zagreb we met with Lusi, the lady who owned our apartment in Hvar, and her two kids Filip and Iva. Lusi lives in Zagreb but she runs the apartment in the summer with her mother. There were street performers and lots of trains. The hot chocolate was great along with the people. Our bed and breakfast guy drove us to the airport at 5:30 in the morning and made us sandwiches to take along.

Overall Croatia was very beautiful and fun. If I have the chance to come again I certainly will.
