After a stop and wonderful walk through Novi Sad, we departed for Vukovar in Croatia. A sad story of a town that as recently as 1991 was 85% destroyed by war. We had a brief walk through town and saw the rebuilding alongside the bombed out buildings.
We then departed for an overnight sail into Hungary.
One of the most frustrating parts of this whole journey is the changing of currency. Every country has their own currency and to be prepared, you should have some of the one you are in. But if you don't spend it, it is useless in the next one. So we will eventually put the Bank of Nova Scotia through it's paces to convert all these small amounts back to Canadian dollars.
It is now 6.30 am and we are sailing through bright sunlight in Hungary. Time for more coffee.
