We got up and took about a 5 hour train journey to Osijek. After we crossed the border into Croatia a young Croatian girl approached us to practice her English. She was in high school and on her way home. We arrived in Osijek where we were greeted by the owner of the guest house at the train station who then drove us to our accommodation. We are staying in the old town area. The building we are in dates back to the 17th/18th century. We went for a short walk to get some money and others got some food.
We had arranged a walking tour at 4:30pm with a local guide Igor. He is finishing his studies to become a lawyer. He remembers some of the war from when he was a child (10/11 years old). His school was evacuated during one of the bombings to Slovenia. You can still see evidence of the bombings on the buildings baring the scars from shrapnel and some direct hits.
We walked back along the river with our ice creams and Igor told us a bit more about life in Osijek and it's history.
We had dinner at a local restaurant in the old town where we shared two stews one catfish and one venison with a cheese pasta side and some salad.
I called it early night to rest up to see if I can hit this cold I have on the head.
