Croatia on November 1

We did a second tour after Novi Sad around 3 pm. We sailed to a port in Croatia and visited a winery in the nearby town of Lloc, then met the boat in a sad little town called Vukovar which had seen devastation during the 1990's war when Yougoslavia broke up. The village is still recovering and great gashes and bullet holes can still be seen. A massacre occurred in 1991 where 250 hospital inmates were slaughtered by Serbian paramilitary and buried. Our guide lived in the town and describes her year underground in terms that made me want to cry. What a violent history this beautiful part of the world has seen.

Anyway, the wine tour/tasting was fine. The wine tasting and subsequent town tour were in the dark, but some pictures came out.
