The first night without being with Ada went fine. I slept like a baby. Next stop was towards Västerås airport. On the way a truck driver was texting and reading from his phone not thinking of that his truck was crossing the files. Luckily, we were at the end of the truck so we breaked like hell and nothing happened. I got mad because I hate idiots texting or reading nessages while driving. If you do it STOP it because it endangers other peoples lives.
In any case, we arrived to the airport healthy and excited. The airport is cute and small.
Now next stop is Keflavik airport and then directly we are going to the Blue Lagoon. The journey is on!!!
Prva noc bez Ade je prosla super. Spavala sam k’o beba. Slijedeca stanica je bila Västerås aerodrom.
Na putu je vozac kamiona tipkao na telefonu i tako skrenuo na nasu traku. Srecom smo ga taman poceli prestizati tako da smo jako zakocili i nista se nije desilo. Ako tipkate kad vozite PRESTANITE sa tim. Mozete tako nekog ubiti.
Uglavnom, stigli smo citave na aerodrom i skroz smo uzbudjene. Slijedeca destinacija je Keflavik aerodrom i onda direkt idemo u plavu lagunu. Juhuu 🙂

Energyboost / Udar energije
I sit in the train to Stockholm, totally hyped. My body is feeling like I have taken some drugs making me FULL of energy. I giggle for myself, noticing people watching me as a drunk teenager. I cannot believe I am alone without Ada to take care of. For the FIRST time. I don’t have to talk, I don’t have to explain. I don’t have to think about Ada climbing the seats, walking the isle and so on. For the next few days it is just ME and my sister. Wonderful 🙂 
Osjecam se kao da sam se nadrogirala necim sto mi je toliko energije dalo da imam osjecaj da cu eksplodirati. Smijem se sama sebi, dok me ljudi gledaju kao da sam pijani tinejdzer. Ne mogu da vjerujem da sam na putu bez Ade. To mi je PRVI put. Ne moram pricati, ne moram objasnjavati, ne moram razmisljati o tome sta ce (belaja) Ada napraviti, hoce li hodati po hodniku itd. Za slijedecih par dana smo samo JA i moja sestre bitne. Fantasticno 🙂
Ettlingen
Ettlingen is a small picturesque town next to Karlsruhe that we visited this beautiful day. Our little princess didn´t mind the town and the buildings too much but it was the fountain that was the fun part of the trip 😀
Ettlingen je jedan mali lijepi gradic nedaleko od Karlsruhe, kojeg smo iskoristili da vidimo kad je bio vrijeme bilo pogodno. Naravno nasu malu princezu to nije bas previse zanimalo. Njoj je najinteresantnija bila fontana, sta su ti djeca 😀
Karlsruhe Zoo / Zoloski vrt u Karlsruhe
Yesterday I took a break of a couple of hours, ( from looking for our passports- can´t find them anywhere :/), and went to the Karlsruhe zoo with my family and a couple of friends and their children. I loved the zoo. It is cute and lies in the middle of the city somehow. There is also plenty of place just to sit on the grass if feeling for it (great when it is above 25 degrees). There are also a very nice playgrounds for the children. But most important was that they had the ice bear.. that is not sleeping.
Jucer sam par sati odmora uzela, (od trazenja pasosa, nigdje ih nema), i otisla sam u sa familijom i prijateljima i njihovom djecom u Karlsruhe zoloski vrt. Zoloski vrt mi se pravo svidio. Bas je fino napravljen i nekako je u sred centra (kako sam ja skontala). Ima isto mnogo mjesta za izlezavanje ako to zelis – sto je super kad je iznad 25 stepeni. Ima i dobri igralista za djecu. Ali najvaznije je bilo da smo vidjeli polarnog medvjeda koji ne spava nego se kupao i igrao 🙂
Hellabrunn Zoo/ Hellabrunn zoloski vrt
Last week on the first spring or rather summer day we went to the Hellabrunn Zoo with Suada and her family. Hellabrunn zoo is the first geozoo in the world and one of the richest zoos when it comes to the number of species living there. Hellabrunn was open in 1911 and today there are 750 different species living on 40 hectars. From 1928 it is the first geozoo with species from every continent. This means you can take a walk from Antarctica to Arctic. For the young visitors there are playgrounds and even carousel. The zoo is definitely a place to visit if you by chance visit Munich.
U prvom proljetnom, ili ljetnom danu mi smo otisli sa Suadom I njezinom familijom u Hellabrunn zooloski vrt. To je prvi geozoloski vrt u svijetu I jedan od najbogatijih zoloskih vrtova na svijetu. Napravljen je 1911. g I danas na 40 hektara zivi oko 750 vrsta zivotinja. Od 1928 zive zivotinje sa svih kontinenata (geozoloski vrt), sto znaci mozete setnjom da prodjete od Antarktisa do Arktisa. Za mlade posjetioce ima igralista pa caki ringispil. Definitvno za preporuciti ako ste igrom slucaja u Minhenu.
Neuschwanstein
Finally, I went to Neuschwanstein. This is one thing off my bucket list. The day started by a 1.5h trip to Hohenschwangau, where the castle is located. My two cousins Sejla and Amina where also coming with us.
Arriving in Hohenschwangau we had to take the ticket and that is when we got very surprised how many people there were. The whole city was crowded by tourists. We had to wait for 1.5h to be able to buy the tickets to Neuschwanstein. We got tickets where the tour was at 16:25h, and it was only 14.30h. To take the bus to the Neuschwanstein, one has to wait another 1-2hrs, so we decided to take the 30-40 minute walk to the castle. When we finally arrived to the castle and entered the castle we had a guided tour that took 35 minutes.
The guided tour was a joke. We were allowed to see 3-4 rooms and we were not allowed to take any pictures inside the castle. We didn´t even get the time to enjoy the rooms because there was another group already knocking at the door. Neuschwanstein as a castle is an architectonic masterpiece, but all the rest around is a masterpiece of commercialism. You pay, you get half an hour glimpse into the castle and then you are shuffled out to a souvenir shop. Despite this, I enjoyed the wonderful day with my daughter and husband, and my two wonderful cousins.
Napokon, sam otisla da vidim poznati Neuschwanstein. Dan je poceo sa 1.5h voznje do Hohenschwangau, gdje taj dvorac bude. Moje dvije teticne Sejla i Amina su nam se isto pridruzile.
Kad smo stigle u Hohenschwangau i kad smo trebale kupiti karte zacudile, ili bolje reci, sokirale smo se koliko je naroda. Citav grad je pun puncat turista. Trebali smo cekati 1.5h da dodjemo na red da kupimo karte. Uspijeli smo da karta u 14.30h a vodic, jer se samo moze vodicem kroz dvorac, nam je tek bio u 16.25h zakazan. Da bi autobusom otisli do dvorca, trebali bi cekati 1-2h red, tako da odlucimo da se popnemo pjesce. Mogu reci da je to penjanje i te kako dobar trening. Noge su mi otpale dok sam gore stigla.
Kad smo stigli do dvorca i kad smo usli u dvorac imali smo vodica kojeg nas je za nekih 35 minuta kroz par soba proveo. Nismo smjeli slikati, a vodic je bio totalno bezveze. Nismo imali ni vremena da stanemo u sobama da stvarno pogledamo sobe, jer je vec slijedeca grupa kucala na vratima. Neuschwanstein je arhitektonsko remekdjelo, a sve ostalo je remekdjelo komercijalizma. Platis, dobijes pola sata da gledas dvorac i onda te samo dalje gurnu u suvenirsku radnju. Ipak nakon svega sam uzivala u prelijepom danu sa kcerkom, muzom i mojim divnim rodicama.
Iceland here I come !!!! / Island, eto me!!!
I got my birthday present (very late but still yupppiee. My dream comes true and I will have one thing less on my travellers bucket list (old post) I cannot believe it! I got a ticket to Iceland 😀 Thank you sooo much 😀
Now my brain is already on 300 thinking of what to do in Iceland. So guys any suggestion of what to do in Iceland? Unfortunately, I am only staying for a short while, between 16th and 20th of June so it has to be pretty compact visit. I just know for one thing the Blue Lagoon sounds really really appealing:D
Iznenada sam dobila (malo kasni, ali ipak suuper) rodjendanski poklon 🙂 San ce mi se ostvariti i imacu jedno mjesto manje na svojoj listi mjesta koji hocu da posjetim (stari post). Idem na Island!!! Hvala puno za ovaj pre pre predobri poklon. Mozak mi je vec na 300 i razmisljam sta sve mogu uraditi i vidjeti na Islandu. Ostajem samo kratko, izmedju 16-20.g Juna tako da ce biti brzinsko gledanje. Jedino sto sam sigurna je da mi Plava Laguna trenutno jako dopadljiva zvuci 😀

Flying flying flying Ada / Leti leti leti Ada
Yesterday, me and Ada arrived in Stockholm. I felt in the morning I was getting the cold but hoped for the best. The flight was super, and Ada was sleeping the whole way. Today though, I am k.o. So now I will just relax and drink tea…
Love the view when flying 😀 / Volim pogled kad letim 
Jucer smo Ada i ja stigle u Stockholm. Ujutru sam osjetila kao da cu se prehladiti ali sam se nadala najboljem. Sam let je bio super. Ada je bila jos bolja. Citav put je prespavala. Danas medjutim, sam totalno k.o. Nadam seda ce sutra biti bolje. Sada me samo ceka odmoranje i dobar caj..
Stay above the rivers / Stanovanje iznad rijeka
These houses do not yet exist but are planned to be built in 2017 in north Sweden. The project called Sápmi Jokk at Vindel river was started from the entrepreneur Christer Kvick, and these houses were designed by the architect Björn Ingridsson. They are supposed to function as a hotel with each house having two to four beds. I find the idea fantastic and immediately I was thinking of all the rivers in Bosnia and how cool that would look like to walk above the river… especially if the floor would be transparent 😀 
Ove kuce jos uvijek nisu napravljene ali su planirane do 2017 u sjevernoj Svedskoj. Projekat, zvani Sápmi Jokk, je startovan od preduzetnika Christer Kvick a kuce su dizajnirane od arhitekte Björn Ingridsson. Ideja je da ovo bude hotel gdje svaka kucica ima dvije do cetiri kreveta. Ideja mi je fantasticna i odmah sam pomislilla kako bi to izgledalo kad bi se setkala iznad rijeka…pogotovo kad bi pod bio proziran 😀

Back in Munich / Nazad u Minhen
Travelling from Bosnia always gets me frustrated at the borders of Bosnia/Croatia and Croatia/ Slovenia. It is like people on the border are working slow on purpose thus making long queues on purpose. I get the feeling that it is their way of showing superior to Bosnians citizen, and the Bosnians on the other hand show inferior. I hate that feeling people project but there is nothing really I can do about it. Everyone has to fight or his own rights. Right?
This time it wasn´t these borders that made me angry. This time it was Germany´s border. Four tracks full of cars at the highway. All pulled to one track at the highway. It was last weekend after the long holidays so there where for sure a couple of hundred of cars forced into one track. First, we thought there had been an accident. Luckily, it wasn´t. There was the German border police standing at the side of the highway pointing with some spotlights into the cars. Seriously? They were looking at people in the car. What was that about? Stopping the refugees of entering the borders or what? I do not need that kind of pseudo control where citizens believe they are safe because a person points a lamp in my face. Can´t be that anyone is that stupid to believe that? If we and other EU-citizens truly want safety for us, the only way that will happen is to stop selling weapons to unstable (and other) countries and also stop interacting in the politics of these countries!
Kad se vracam iz Bosne uvijek se na granicama Bosna/Hrvatska, Hrvatska/Slovenija izfrustriram. Tamo kao da granicari namjerno sporo rade i tako stvaraju redove u nedogled. Imam osjecaj da hoce da se pokazu superiornima, a opet Bosanci to prihvate i kao da ih se boje, pokazuju se inferiornima. Mrzim taj osjecaj sto ljudi projiciraju ali opet u drugu ruku ne mogu tu nista. Svako se mora za svoja prava boriti. Zar ne?
Ovaj put se nisam toliko nervirala na nasim granicama nego na Njemackoj granici. Cetiri trake pune auta na autoputu, usmjerene na jednu traku. I to zadnji slobodni vikend nakon praznika. Znaci na stotine auta na putu koja su na jednu traku usmjerena. Bijase totalni zastoj saobracaja. Mislili smo prvo da se desila nesreca. Srecom nije, nego se njemacka granicka policija poredala pokraj autoputa sa svjetlima koja su usmjerila u auta, ko biva da nas vide. Vidjeli su oni da ne kazem sta. Sta hoce sa tim uopste? Da dadnu svojim gradjanima osjecaj sigurnost? Pa moras biti totalna budala da vjerujes u to. Meni ne treba neka pseudo kontrola gradjana da bih se ja osjecala sigurnom od izbjeglica koje su glavom bez obzira pobjegli iz svojih drzava. Svi imaju i trebaju da imaju pravo da traze bolji zivot. Ali ako vec hoce da im se EU-gradjani osjecaju sigurnijima onda je jedini nacin da se to ostvari da prestanu prodavati oruzje tim nestabilnim (a i ostalim) drzavama i nek se ne petljaju u politiku doticnih zemalja.
