A hard reminder of war...


The 1990s Yugoslavian conflict is one that we are still piecing together, but tonight gave us our first hands-on encounter with it: seeing shrapnel from the war which was found in the attic of our hotel. Tomorrow, we will join our new friend Ivan out to the location of one of the most violent battles during the war, as well as a former mass grave, which is located about 45 minutes from Osijek. It is so helpful to see the places first-hand in order to understand what really happened. Stories and pictures to come!
