My fourth and last trip of 2018 took me (by plane that is) to Croatia. DH and DD Joyce went with me during this short trip (we left October 13 and arrived back home October 19, just before our grandson's second birthday on October 20). At the Zagreb Airport we took a rental car and drove for 2 hours to our "hotel" near the Plitvice Lakes. It is quite difficult to find an address in Croatia, because the streets don't have names, only numbers, so even with our GPS we had to ask directions several times and still managed to pass by our hotel twice without noticing it. Anyway, we went to the Plitvice Lakes 3 times on a row, taking hikes along the lakes and waterfalls. Nature and the outdoors are great and so beautiful there, so we did enjoy it very much. On the fourth day we went to a cave nearby and the fifth day we spent in Zagreb.
Note: during the hikes I had difficulty climbing the stairs, could not catch my breath and upon return home I went to the docter for that, found out that I had a lack of oxygen in my blood, needed a transfusion and some extra iron to produce new red blood cells.
