Tomorrow we leave Croatia to take a side trip to Belgrade, Serbia, followed by Sarajevo, Bosnia, before returning to the Croatian coast.
We have been learning about the recent wars here, and today we visit Vukovar, one of the hardest hit cities in the Croatian War for Independence that has since been rebuilt. But more on that in a future post.
One of the challenges we will have starting tomorrow is the swapping of the Roman alphabet for the Cyrillic one. The Croatian and Serbian languages are phonetically similar, but Croatian uses the Roman alphabet, and Serbian uses Cyrillic.
Except for two days in Russia 7 years ago, I’ve never had to read Cyrillic before, and so we are practicing! Wish us luck.
