Beautiful Croatia

This is the Croatian flag. The five crests at the top of the checkered part symbolize the 5 regions of Croatia.
We rode our bikes up and over some mountains today, to the part of the Krka River. There is a monastery behind us in the middle of this slow moving river that flows into the sea about 5 miles further on.
Donna, Erin, Natalie and Alana did the "jump" shot right in front of the Franciscan monastery.
Here are Helen and Mom riding down the last hill before we got back to Skradin, the town we stayed in last night.
Pat and I went out kayaking off the boat, and even though the swans were friendly when we were feeding them from the ship, they steered clear of us when we tried to kayak near them.
Here is the town of Skradin taken from the kayak.
Helen and I went out kayaking next and here is a picture of Erin, Alana and Pat waiting for us on the back of the ship.
In the afternoon, we took a boat up to Krka National Park, that has amazing travertine falls.
We are all pictured here in front of some of the falls.
We walked around some of the boardwalks, up and down the waterfalls.
