Yesterday I forgot one really really important thing: my bicycle got a name! From now on it is called Arthur - by courtesy of Alexandras Mom. :o)
Today was an easy ride - short, flat and tailwind. So I could enjoy the morning relaxing, drinking coffee and reading in Osijek before starting the cycling along the Drau/Drave. Most times I had to cycle on the road, but most drivers were very careful and there was not much traffic anyway. My destination was Vukovar, a town most famous for some of the cruellest actions during the croatian war in the 90s. Nowadays the town looks pretty normal if you drive by - modern buildings, happy people,... but if you look a little bit closer, you will notice that some of bad street surface is not due to corrosion but due to shotholes and inbetween the modern buildings you will see some war ruins. Moreover the city decided to leave the huge watertower in its desolate state as a warning. So it is very much a mixed-feeling place.
