Rastoke, Croatia

Hillside villages and vineyards dotted the landscape

"April showers bring May flowers" . . . and travel to new and incredibly beautiful places.  Our previous post about the basketball tournament in Croatia explains the reason for our trip to Croatia. What a treat it was!  The countryside of Croatia is beautiful.  At first we were disappointed that we would not be able to travel to southern Croatia which is the biggest tourist destination, but we were not at all disappointed in what we saw instead.

On our way to our first "planned" stop we happened upon the village of Rastoke.

Such a unique place.  We almost drove right by, but decided to turn around to take a better look.  We just wish we had planned for more time to spend there. (click on the link for some better pictures:   Rastoke, Croatia "Beautiful village built on top of waterfalls”
