Plitvice National Park We were up early today in order to get to Plitvice National Park and beat some of the crowds. Our original plan was to do tour program C, starting with the great waterfall then head towards the upper lakes. However when we were checking out, our airbnb host suggested that we do the H program. He explained that we would start high and only have to walk downhill the rest of...

Gangneung Our plan today was to head back to the Gangneung and explore in and around the city since we didn't get much of a chance to do that yet.

But we hadn't had a chance to visit the Olympic plaza area so we planned to...
