Skradin The Krka FAlls

In the morning we set off in a boat with hundreds of other tourists , up the river to the lower falls. They are unique due to the limestone which is porous and to which vegetation adheres.."karstic falls". They are basically hairy with green vegetation. The national park has been well done and is clean with informative boards in English. You can catch boats further up river to lake ,one of which has a Franciscan Monastry on an island in the middle. There is a hydro power station , not currently in use , which was the first in the world and second to one in the U.S...so there! Bryan is lifting a turbine . There is also a working flour mill and washing machine.
