Croatia

We woke up in Vukovar. This small town on the Danube had been almost flattened during the war in the late 90's. The most spectacular sight was the severely damaged water tower, still standing and left as a reminder to all. We were driven by bus to the nearby town of Osijek


where we saw a small church and tried some locally made plum brandy (a small sample and that was enough, as it really had no taste, just pure alcohol.) a stroll around the town followed, the highlight being the stop at a cafe, which had wifi!!! Where email was downloaded in a flash, unlike on board.
Then a lazy afternoon on board listening to my audiobook - 'only time will tell' by Geoffrey Archer.
The weather has been hot (high 80's) and not much shade on deck but A/C is good on board.
