Blessed with sun, our driver and river guide, Veselin Kliajević, picked us up at the hotel for the drive to Tara Bridge and the start of our rafting trip. We chose the full day trip which took us into the deepest part of the canyon. Tara Canyon is Europe's deepest canyon, with our Grand Canyon being only 600 feet deeper. But Tara Canyon is lush green all the way down to the blue water, evergreens percariously holding on to their rocky ledges above.
Veselin spoke very little English, but our paddling intructions were clear - "Everybody in, OK. Uros, the only other pasenger in our raft, helped to translate.
Waterfalls, thundering torrents to broad gentle cascades, entered the river from both sides, while around every bend we were met with another stunning view.
How many times can you say beautiful, magnificent and incredible?
Tom enjoyed the dirt road ride out of the canyon to the viewpoint above - thankful he was not driving!
