Last day at Kidz Klub was great fun!

I have been working on this estate (Slavonia Dva) for the past 5 years and its been amazing to see the kids grow up. Only this year have I recognised that they grow pretty fast.

Imo, Hannah and I have been on the road from Slavonski Brod, Croatia to Banja Luka, Bosnia and back over the last couple of days. Immediatley after leaving Croatia there is a change in scenery. The Bosnian boarder roads are littered with the skeletons of homes, you can just about see the tops of houses from the coach. They are hidden behind blankets of unkept bushes and trees.

Here is a short video of the fireworks from earlier this evening.

Its crazy really - each year Slavonski Brod have a fireworks competition. This year it is between Croatia, Russia and Austria. This is Austria’s efforts. I only filmed the start because I ended up not watching them.

Just had lunch with Darko, Gorena and family. It was a taste sensation and now I’m tempted to take a nap. We chatted about our visions for the coming summer mission. It looks to be an exciting time come July.
