Our port o' call for Croatia was Vukova where we could easily see evidence of the terrible violence of the Croatian - Serbian war in 1991 to 1995. We could also see the great recovery made by the country since as well as the large amount of work yet to be done. After touring Vukovar we rode by bus to Osijek and then on to Mohacs in Hungary where we reboarded our boat.
