I tako dodje!
Today was Adrians first flight ever and typically it took ages. I actually think I’ve never travelled so long to get to Sweden. We left Karlsruhe around 12h and arrived around 19.30h . They where awake the whole journey. At home the kids where so excited so they fell asleep around 22h. Me on the other hand I am to tired to sleep and I am thinking of a lot of things. Funny thing in the end was that the last stairs where colorful:)

Danas je bio Adrianov prvi let, naravno se izdužio. Mislim da nikad nisam toliko dugo putovala za Švedsku. Krenuli smo iz Karlsruhe oko 12h i stigli oko 19.30h. Djeca su bila budna skoro čitav put. Kad smo stigli tako su bili uzbuđeni da nisu mogli spavati i tek oko 22h su zaspali. Ja u drugu ruku sam bila tako umorna da nisam od umora mogla zaspati i mnogo sam razmišljala. Bilo mi je baš simpatično vidjeti ove stepenice kad sam trebala izaći iz metra.
A couple of days before departure I always have a feeling of expectation. How will the flight be ( I don’t like flying), how will the stay be, how will the weather be. Mentally I am tuned in on the trip.
When I got an email from the company that my flight has been cancelled and they “offer” a new trip for the same money…I got so angry. I had payed extra to spend as little time as possible at the most boring airport I have seen- Berlin Tegel. This with two children of which one cannot walk. The offer I got is to spend 5 hrs there? Seriously? Angry I called Travelstart that told me to call airberlin. So I did.
The girl I talked to was so nice. She booked me a flight at Friday (fr. Stuttgart but still). I cooled down and got happy I can go to Sweden.
I have to say I got surprised of how important it is with good customer service… Had it been differently, I would have never flied with airberlin again. Now, I hope I will get these tasty little airberlin chocolate hearts when finishing the trip 🙂

Picture: I got surprised when I saw that this is the flight we got booked on. Quite expensive / Začudila sam se kad sam vidjela koji let nam je zakazan. Poskupo…
Par dana prije nekog putovanja uvijek dobijem osjećaj očekivanja. Kako će let proći ( ne volim letiti), kako će biti na mjestu, kakvo će biti vrijeme itd. Mentalno sam skroz usmjerena na to putovanje, tako da kad sam dobila mail da je otkazan let dobila sam fras.
Ponuđena sam putovanje gdje moram pet sati čekati na Berlinskom aerodromu. Sa dvoje male djece nema šanse da hoću tu torturu da prođem. Nisam džabe platila više da to ne moram proći. Ljuta sam nazvala Travelstart koji su mi rekli da zovnem Airberlin. I tako sam i uradila.
Cura s kojom sam pričala je bila tako fina. Zakazala mi je let iz Stuttgarta u petak umjesto četvrtka. Jes da je iz Stuttgarta ali lakše to nego biti na aerodromu sama. Bila sam sretna da mogu ići u Švedsku.
Bila sam malo zaćuđena koliko je bitna lijepa riječ i customer service (korisnićka podrška(?). Da je bilo drugačije nikad više ne bih letjela sa Airberlin, a sada se nadam onim njihovim slatkim čokoladicama u obliku srca 🙂
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 🙂
I think I never experienced a nicer swedish national day. The weather was perfect. The concert was fantastic. We hade the honour to listen to the royal opera, choir and balet for free. There were activites, like trying ballerinas, painting and gymnastics, for the children. On top of it all my mother came on a short visit. Perfect 🙂

Mislim da nisam nikad ljepsi svedski nacionalni dan dozivjela. Vrijeme je bilo perfektno. Imali smo cast slusati kraljevsku opera, hor i gledati balet… i to sve bezplatno. Bilo je i aktiviteta za djecu, poput probavanje balerinki, gimnastike i crtanja. A kao kec na desetku je moja mama dosla u kratku posjetu. Perfektno 🙂
When I was in Stockholm I took a walk in the famous Mall of Scandinavia. I love to stroll around in interior shops in Sweden. They make simple things look beautiful. I guess that is why Scandinavian design has become so famous around the world. Here are some things that caught my eye when I was walking around in R.O.O.M. The stool is made for children and it so cute. However, I did wonder who came up with the idea and what the point was of the cuddly toys, or to be more correct, the head of them hanging on the wall like hunting trophies.
Kad sam bila u Stokholmu prosetala sam kroz vec poznati Mall of Scandinavia. Kad sam u Svedskoj volim posjetiti interijer prodavnice jer uspiju od jednostavni stvari da naprave da lijepo izgleda. Vjerovatno je skandinavski dizajn zato i postao poznat u svijetu. Evo nekoliko stvari koje su mi zapele za oko kad sam bila u R.O.O.M prodavnici. Stolicica za djecu mi je preslatka. Ali sam se malo upitala ko je dosao na ideju da napravi igracke koje izgledaju kao lovacki trofej i kakva je ustvari poenta toga. :/
I haven´t been to Barkarby outlet for years so when my dad suggested we should go there I took the opportunity. We didn´t have so much time before I had to pick up Ada but we have enough to spend some money 😛 I bought a pair of Ecco shoes with great color, a pair of Gant pants and lovely placemats from the brand Arc of Sweden. Who said shopping is not fun? Especially, when the sales are 😀

Nisam bila u Barkarby outletu godinama, tako da kad je tata predlozio da odemo iskoristila sam priliku da odem. Nismo imali puno vremena jer sam trebala po Adu, ali smo imali dovoljno da potrosimo novac 😛 Kupila sa Ecco cipele, Gant hlace i podmetace od Arc of Sweden marke. Ko kaze da nije smijesno ici u kupovinu? Pogotovo kad su snizenja 😀
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..
