Got up really really early (2:30AM!!) and finished packing. Then left
around 3:30AM to go to the airport. We got there around 5:00ish.
Checked our luggage in and found out that our flight ha been moved to an
earlier time, 5:50. Lucky we got there early!! By the time we got
through security etc., it was pretty much time to head to the plane.
I slept for most of the first flight, which I think was around 1hr30,
waking briefly to eat breakfast, a sort of cheese and ham toastie, and
drink an awful coffee.
Once we got to Munich we found the next departure lounge, which was
confusing and took a while. Thankfully, we found it eventually.
Whilst we were waiting we saw a family having an argument with security
over whether or not they had tickets. That delayed things. Once we
finally got on board, there were further delays whilst they found
missing passengers. Flight was an hour late in total!!
Flight turbulent but uneventful. Got to Sarajevo and the heat hit us
straight away. So so hot!! We went through passport control, then got
our luggage. On the other side we were meant to meet Walter (in charge of the link-up), but we
weren't sure if he'd send 'his boys' instead.
Waited for quite a while, getting worried because we had no way of
contacting him. Finally he came over, and Mum recognised him.
Thankfully!!
Drove to Zenica, which took around 40 minutes, with Walter and Elvis,
one of his boys (they live on the farm, paying through work, generally
from troubled backgrounds).
It's very pretty; lots of mountains that look almost Swiss/German!!
However it's very hot and the grass is dry, so we saw a fire caused by
the two.
Stopped briefly at the farm, then continued to the day care centre. We
had lunch there. There are people from Sheffield here, but we haven't
met them yet- they had taken the day care kids out on a picnic.
Once we'd eaten (the bread is delicious!!) we went to Penha's apartment
and met Penha* herself. She's very nice and very welcoming.
Spent evening relaxing, had spag bol for dinner. Very nice!!
I was too tired, and felt very very low. Thankfully I was able to go to bed. Just hope it doesn't last!
