Coming from Serbia, I found it to be important to visit the Danube town of Vukovar, a town that was just about obliterated during the 3 month Siege of Vukovar in 1991. This town saw some serious devastation and death at the start of the Yugoslav Wars and I wanted to see for myself some of the things that happened. Throughout the region, you can see buildings with bullet holes and cannon holes including the Vukovar water tower or Vukovarski vodotoranj.
Next day, I set off for the capital city of Zagreb where I was once again, welcomed with rain and cold weather, the third capital city where it rained miserably. But when it cleared up the next day, I had a good opportunity to walk around and enjoy the city. Zagreb doesn't usually get much praise in comparison to Croatia's cities on the coast, but it's a beautiful cosmopolitan city with gorgeous buildings and city center.
Next day, I set off for Slovenia for 2 week before I made a grand return to explore Croatia's infamous coastline. :)

Vukovar, Croatia
A major part of Croatia's recent history is centered on the town of Vukovar and how the war in the 1990's had a deep impact on the region. We wanted to learn a bit about what happened and see what the town looks like after all these years.

Kopački Rit nature park, Croatia
Kopački rit nature park, Croatia, walk true the beautifull nature, and lake Sakadaš, summer 2017
Kopački Rit is a nature park in eastern Croatia in municipalities of Bilje and Kneževi Vinogradi. It is located northwest of the confluence of the Drava and the Danube, situated at the border with Serbia. It is one of the most important, largest and most attractive preserved intact wetlands in Europe.
Around 260 various bird species nest here (wild geese and ducks, great white egret, white stork, black stork, white-tailed eagle, crows, coots, gulls, terns, kingfishers, European green woodpecker, etc.), and there are many other species using this area as a temporary shelter on migration from the northern, cooler regions to the southern, warmer areas and vice versa.
There are 40-odd fish species (pike, ide, tench, bream, carp, catfish, pike-perch, perch, etc.). Several various mammal species inhabit the land (red deer, roe deer, wild boar, wild cat, pine marten, stone marten, weasel, sable, otter, etc.). Daily passes can be purchased at the visitors center.
Kopački Rit also has over 140 recorded species of plant—some of which are very rare and only found in a few places in Croatia.
The proximity of the big city of Osijek and its surroundings, as well as excellent communications (by road, railway, plane and ship) enable a high visiting rate. The beauty of intact nature, the multitude of waters, flora and fauna attract not only excursionists and visitors but also many experts and scientists from the whole of Europe.

The Croatian islands was another dream of mine for many years, and it came true on exactly 3 months of life on the road. Fortunately I had heard of Vis island the day before I set off and picked the small town of Komiza to lay low and simply relax. After a 3 hour ferry ride from Split, I arrived in Vis town to catch a bus across to Komiza, a personal favorite of mine in all of Croatia. The town is small, quaint, and not full of tourists, the perfect place to relax and do nothing. My Airbnb was the most memorable, as it was on the third floor of and old building, with a window that opened out to the sea.
My next island was the town of Hvar on Hvar island. I personally wasn't too crazy about this town as it was really crowded with tourism. I stayed overnight in a cheap hostel in town, But because I'm so far from home, I did my best to appreciate it. In the morning before departure, I walked outside of town for a nice swim at a nearby beach.
My next island is the island of Korcula. After spending about an hour walking around Vela Luka, I made my way over to Korcula town, another personal favorite of mine. Korcula is an old fortified town that juts out into the sea with the backdrop of the Peljesac peninsula. This once Venetian city is said to be the birthplace of Marco Polo. With Summer officially in full gear, I took advantage of kayaking around Korcula and the nearby islets delivering amazing views and nice alone beach time.
On my final day concluding my second but not final voyage in Croatia, I took the ferry to Orebic on Peljesac, hitchhiked twice to Trpanj, caught a ferry to Ploce, and finally caught a ride to Mostar straight from the ferry.
I love Croatia!!!!
