Hr: Mateo je klimnuo glavom. "Ovaj park nas podsjeća koliko smo sretni."
En: Mateo nodded. "This park reminds us of how lucky we are."

Hr: Ana je dodala: "I koliko moramo biti zajedno. Priroda nas uči tome."
En: Ana added, "And how important it is to stay together. Nature teaches us that."

Hr: Uzeli su još nekoliko fotografija prije nego što su krenuli natrag.
En: They took a few more photos before heading back.

En: On the way home, no one was tired.

Hr: Mateo i Ana su se složili.
En: Mateo and Ana agreed.

Hr: Znali su da će od sada više vremena provoditi zajedno u prirodi.
En: They knew they would spend more time together in nature from now on.

Hr: Plitvička jezera ih nisu samo očarala svojim ljepotama, već i pomogla obnoviti njihov obiteljski duh.
En: Plitvice Lakes had not only enchanted them with its beauty but also helped to renew their family spirit.
