Day 15

At  PM 1.46 the plane was leaving Schiphol. Muhamed, Mina and Amira are back to Sarajevo and will follow their journey to Zivinice by car. We expect that they will be home at PM 8.30. For us ended here the short but very nice holiday. We enjoyed every day that we where together. This will also be the last day we will make a report. Maybe till next time.

Erwin, Erika and Bas.
  

Day 14

This is the last full day. Tomorrow the plane is going back. We have started with buying the last presents for all friends. In the house we relaxed again with Mr. Bean. Every day of this week we had the sentence: Qui...Non...Gracias This was a nice joke for us to play. At 15.00 hours Karlijn, Julian and Louisa were at the home. Julian had his birthday and took something to eat. Karlijn brings presents.
And then at 18.00 hour Erika does exam in making pogaca herself. Mina and Amira helped for 10 percent. And it was delicious. The evening was full of emotion and we looked on dvd all the pictures of the last 14 days. Here was again obvious, how we  enjoyed this vacation. Perhaps too short, but we know for sure: WE WILL SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!

Danas je nazalost poslednji dan naseg boravka u Holandiji. Svi smo mnogo tuzni zbog toga. Danas smo odmarali kod kuce i spakovali nase kofere. To bi bilo to. Vrijeme je brzo proslo. Nadamo se da cemo ih ubrzo vijdeti, jer ih mnogo volimo i mnogo ce nam nedostajati. Poslije podne smo uzivali sa djecom koju Erika cuva. Bilo je zanimljivo. Za veceru Erika je spremila bosansku pogacu. Poslije vecere smo gledali slike i onda smo se odmarali. Zelimo ostati ali nazalost tako je kako je. VoLimo vaSS :) <3

Day 13

Last day trip with the whole family. On request from Mina and Amira we visited the seashore of Scheveningen. The girls where here before and wanted to come back with Muhamed. Te weather condition was super (cold but sunny and dry). Of course we visited also the Sealife. The biggest living crab in captivity is on world tour and know stationed at Sealife. He is called Crabzilla and is caught last year. From toe to toe he measures 4 meter.

Danas smo posjetili kao i prvi put, prije 5 godina more. Bili smo veoma uzbudjeni zbog toga. Puhao je hladan vjetar ali to nije usjelo pokvariti nase raspolozenje i planove. Mnogo naroda je bilo oko nas, pa je bilo jos zanimljivije. Nakon setanja otisli smo u obliznji restoran, a zatim u muzej morskih zivotinja. Meni i Mini su se vratile stare uspomene i sjecanja na ova mjesta. Za Muhameda je ovo bio prvi put, pa mogu da zanimlim kako se osjecao , kao i mi prije 5 godina. Za nas je ovo jedan od najzanimljivijih dana provedenih u Holandiji, ali uvijek postoje neki koji se izdvajaju.Poslije muzeja, pomalo umorni krenuli smo kuci. Kada smo dosli vecerali smo i odmarali uz tv i igre.

Day 12

This day, was the busiest day of our vacation. We started with an interview. Nermana was asking us questions, wich can be used for Pax Kinderhulp. We talked about our experiences in Holland when we were 9 and 10 years old. Then we left together with Nermana, Muhamed and Binela and Denis and with 10 persons we see Amsterdam. The capital city of Holland. The boat takes us trough the canals and we walked through the Amsterdam streets. In the evening we were invited at the home of Tanja and she made us a Kroatian meal. Late in the evening we fell asleep and dream about this day. 

Danas je bio veoma zanimljiv dan, jedan od najzanimljivijih. Poslije dorucka pripremili smo sobu za dugo ocekivani intervju sa Nermanom-porodicnom prijateljicom. Pricali smo o nasem dolasku prije 5 godina, kakva su osjecanja, a takodjer i sada. Poslije smo svi zajednicki otisli u Amsterdam. Bilo je veoma zanimljivo. Setali smo i obilazili mnogo mjesta. Vozili smo se brodom. Vidjeli smo najpoznatije kuce u Holandiji gdje zive poznate licnosti, glumci i fudbaleri. Bilo nam je veoma lijepo. Kada smo se vratili otisli smo kod Tanje, veoma lijepa i prijatna osoba. Drago nam je sto smo upoznali mnogo njihovih prijatelja. To je veoma lijepo.

Day 11

This day we started buying presents for all friends in Bosnia and we seek in the supermarket for ingredients to make pita (the Bosnian bread filled with cheese, meat or spinach). It was raining all day, but it was no problem for us. In the afternoon we visited the Military Airborne Museum. We make nice and funny pictures there and we could see some planes. Amira would like to fly to Italy. Back home Mina and Amira teached Erika how to make the pita and after two hours we have a perfect meal.
This evening we fill in with games and talking and we will sleep early, because tomorrow we need to be fit for Amsterdam.

Danas nam je bilo veoma zanimljivo. Isli smo u muzej aviona. Vidjeli smo odjela pilota kao i mnoge vrste aviona. Dosta smo naucili o avionima. Najvise nam je se svidio prostor gdje je flightsimulator. Kada smo se vratili odmorili smo se uz caj i kafu i onda poceli spremati veceru. Za veceru smo pravili pitu. Poslije vecere smo gledali utakmicu.

Day 10

The Open air museum in Arnhem has selected a collection of old dutch buildings. The people who live there invite you to enter there houses and show you how life was years a go. The rain and the cold try to get grip on us, but we could everywhere warm our hands and the umbrella did his work. We also saw a movie which showed us the Netherlands trough the years. And of course Amira, Mina and Muhamed get there own portrait.

  

Danas smo posjetili veoma lijepo mjesto. Veoma lose vrijeme je obiljezilo ovaj dan. Posjetili smo muzej u kojem je bilo dosta starih tradicionalnih stvari vezanih za Holandiju. Izvan smo pogledali mnogo starih kuca i vidjeli smo kako je narod zivio, mnogo godina prije. Vidjeli smo mnogo toga i naucili dosta toga. Voma zanimljivo, iako je bilo hladno. Grijali smo ruke na prvom mjestu gdje ugledamo vatru. Poslije toga, dosli smo kuci. Sada je vrijeme za odmaranje.

Day 9

It was a very nice day. After breakfast we took the train to Utrecht. We walked to the Speelklok museum. The kids liked everything around them. There was an extra exhibition with Clocks from the forbidden City of China. At home we made real Bosnian Pogaca for the family. We eat cevapcice today. And of course the children phoned home to congratulate Nura with here birthday.  

Jako zanimljiv dan po obicaju. Poslije dorucka smo posjetili muzej instrumenata. Uzivali smo razgledajuci na sve strane. Poslusali smo prezentaciju. Dosta smo naucili. Vozom smo otisli. I to je bilo za nas prvi put, novo iskustvo. Poslije muzeja smo setali gradom i razgledali po obliznjim trgovinama,marketima i sl. Veoma zanimljivo. Kada smo dosli kuci odmorili smo se uz kafu. Poslije toga  smo spremili bosansku pogacu, a Erika cevapcice. Uzivali smo uz veceru.

Day 8

This day we did not want to go far away. The program for the next few days is very busy. We visit Shadow dance in Kade Amersfoort. It is a museum which has an exhibition in shadows. It was very nice. In the afternoon Erika has the house full with children. Muhamed, Mina and Amira has been entertaining the kids.  For dinner we eat Pizza.  

Danas nam je bilo jako zanimljivo. Posjetili smo muzej sjenki. To je blo za nas veliko iskustvo. Mnogo smo se obradovali i veoma lijepo proveli. Vani je bilo hladno, ali nam to nije uspjelo pokvariti raspolozenje. Uzivali smo gledajuci mnoge zanimljivosti. Poslije podne su dosla djecica tako da nam je dan brzo prosao uz njih. Zanimljivo, kao i inace. Sada sjedimo u kuci uz zanimljive igre.

Day 7

This monday, we first cleaned the house a little bit and we washed the blankets and the clothes. After drinking coffee and cola with some cakes, we went shopping in the supermarket. Mina, Amira and Muhamed will make a Bosnian bread for us this week and we searched for the right ingredients. Muhamed found banana sweets and Mina and Amira bought also chocolats for their friends. At home we make pancakes and dutch "poffertjes". Mr. Bean was on television and at 15.oo hour we go to school to get Louisa and Julian and Karlijn. Karlijn was enthousiast to see the girls again after six years and she welcomes them a lot. Everybody played in and outside and have a lot of fun.  It was nice to see the kids playing. Language is no problem at all. (Karlijn can speak english too). In the evening we take a rest for tv and we go to sleep to be fit for tomorrow.

Prosao je i ovaj dan. Bilo je super, kao i uvijek, ali malo nam je falio Bas. On je danas morao ici u skolu. Takodjer i Erwin, on je radio. Ali i sa Erikom  je bilo veoma zanimljivo. Poslije dorucka smo zajednicki sredili kucu. Zatim smo isli u kupovinu namirnica. Poslije toga smo dosli kuci i uzivali uz palacinke koje nam je pripremila Erika. Vrijeme je bilo da odemo po djecu koju Erika inace cuva. Sacekali smo ih ispred skole i onda smo dosli kuci. Bilo je jako interesantno sa njima, igrali smo se i vani i unutra. Sutra ih ponovo ocekujemo. Nadamo se da ce biti super kao i danas. Kada su roditelji dosli po njih, bilo nam je pomalo zao, al sutra opet dolaze i to nas raduje. Poslije smo vecerali i odmarali uz tv i igre.

Day 6

We started the day with the history of Dutch railroad in Spoorwegmuseum Utrecht. The first Dutch train ever (de Arend) which took passengers between Haarlem and Amsterdam and other trains who where in service on Dutch railroads have their final stage at this museum. For kids there are nice things to explore. We visit the Royal trains and saw where the Queen and princess has their own place on board. We got a real Bosnian dinner (Burek and Pita) from Nermana, Muhamed and Binela. The Brother of Nermana was also for a short holiday in the Netherlands, so the place was filled up that was very cosy.  

Danas, po obicaju prelijep dan. Posjetili smo SPOORWEGMUSEJ u gradu Utrecht. Bilo je jako zanimljivo. Mnogo starina i zanimljivosti unutra. Razgledali smo na sve strane. Bilo je mnogo tramvaja. Zaista smo odusevljeni kako je izgradjen muzej. Jako je lijepo obilaziti ovako dobra mjesta, jer mozemo dosta nauciti. Novo iskustvo za nas. Pogledali smo i predstavu, sasvim slucajno. Pomalo umorni krenuli smo kuci da se odmorimo. Uzivali smo u toplom domu uz zanimljiv film. Zatim smo krenuli kod porodicnih prijatelja na veceru, inace su iz Bosne kao i mi. Ponovo smo pricali bosanski jezik i bilo nam je veoma lijepo. Vecera je bila super, bosanska hrana koja nam je malo nedostajala. Toliko za danas, jako interesantno.  Amira
