Friday, March 4th. Drove out to the Tunnel Museum. The Tunnel was built in 1993, under the airport, which was controlled by the UN. About 2,600 feet long, 3 feet wide and 5 feet tall. Had rails, ventilation, and lights from a waterwheel-powered generator. Used extensively to resupply the city’s defenses.

A veteran recounted a few of his experiences. The worst part of the siege was the existence of snipers who targetted anyone who moved. Doctors and nurses were the first priority, but they weren’t picky. After nearly 30 years, he still had trouble talking about it.

Afterwards I walked up to the “Yellow Fort” (I don’t know why it got that name), then the large mansion I photographed yesterday. Though not visible from a distance, it’s surprisingly ruined! A true fixer-upper.

In the late afternoon we had a speaker talk about his thoughts on “Yugoslavia”. He wants the nations to reunify, and has created some altered history to fit his reasoning. Nice guy, but he’s a journalist with fantastical thoughts. It was an interesting alternative to what we’ve heard before.

Dinner was fun. My fellow tourists are opening up. I took photos of the waitresses and cook and printed them out. They were so happy, I received a complimentary small bottle of Rakija liqueur.

Tomorrow we spend the night in a small vilage, so wifi is doubtful.
