Krka National Park / Šibenik

7/23 :  Rented car at Zadar airport to drive to Šibenik.  Ostensibly a 1 hour drive, but it took us over
2 hrs including a very interesting stop for lunch in the tiny town of Sopot.

Sopot restaurant "menu" consists of a tour of the "kitchen" which is 3 fire pit rooms for roasting meat

Spongiola resort, our hotel in Šibenik, is on Krapanj island, which I was not aware of when we drove to Šibenik... so Google Maps navigated us to a pier across from the island.  Took a while to locate Eddie, a young guy about my age, who guided us to the resort's parking lot, about 1km away, then drove us back in the big red van to the private ferry to the resort ... about a 5 minute ride across the water.   Our suite was lovely.  2 beds, 2 baths.  Much more than we needed.  Krapanj island is a small island, with not much going on.  A very peaceful place to stay. 
On Tuesday morning we drove to Krka National Park, about 1/2 hr away from where the car was parked.

Skradinski buk waterfall in Krka national park

If we visit Croatia again.. it will be in the off season (probably mid-Sept) and we will devote at least 2 days to explore more of the park.  While the water at the falls was clear and refreshing, there were hoards of people.  Lunch was excellent, fresh grilled trout (caught in the Krka river) at a lovely restaurant below the falls.
