Still a number of destroyed buildings remain in this area that was a no mans land during recent relatively recent war.. informal Hard feelings still in the air.
Recently, Lynn and I visited Vukovar while on a river boat trip through Eastern Europe on the Danube. This city is to be seen as a memorial more than a typical tourist visit. The Croatian war of Independence reduced this small town to ruins in...More
There are still buildings in town that are riddled with holes made during the homeland war. Sometimes it is a little hard to believe that this war happened in the centre of Europe. Worth a visit. Spend a day or two in Vukovar visiting the...More

As our Vantage river cruise ship arrived at the dock in Vukovar, the first thing we saw was the water tower with numerous holes from being bombed by the Serbians in the Croatian War. The tower was built in a city park in the 1960's...More
