1600 We take the bus from Vukovar and head on towards the Serbian border.  The last time I came to the border of Serbia with my bike was the summer of 1995.  The Balkan wars were in full swing, Hungary was swarming with refugees from Croatia and Bosnia and the Serbian border guards looked at my bike and my passport and turned me back. 15 years on and the contrast is complete and very positive. 200 cyclists have passed through this beautiful and now peaceful countryside in safety. And with a smile and a stamp most of us are into Serbia.  It still helps to have the right papers however and two of our number who have managed to get this far without a valid passport have to turn back to Croatia.
