Stara Gradiška - Kutina

Reported by Dipavajan Renner 65.0 km

We left Bosnia and Herzegovina behind as we crossed the bridge over the Sava in Gradiška. It was time for us to say good bye to Amur, our Bosnian coordinator.

Ostavili smo Bosnu i Hercegovinu kako smo prešli mostom Savu u Gradiški. Oprostili smo se od Amura, našeg bosanskog koordinatora.

City representatives of Gradiška carried the torch onto the bridge, which marks the border...

Predstavnik Gradiške ponio je baklju na most, koji označava granicu...

...to meet the Representative from Croatia.

...za susret sa predstavnikom iz Hrvatske...

A group picture and the torch officially entered Croatia.

Our first meeting: the school in Stara Gradiška. It was a lovely small school with very cheerful kids.

Naš prvi doček: škola u Staroj Gradišci. To je bila mala dražesna škola sa radosnom djecom.

...a great welcome...

...velika dobrodošlica...

...it was real fun to run with the kids through the grass...

...bilo je zabavno trčati sa djecom kroz travu...

Thank you Stara Gradiška!

Hvala Stara Gradiška!

The kids joined us on our way out...

Djeca su nam se pridružila na izlasku...

...and we reached Okučani. Pupils in traditional costumes greeted us...

...stigli smo u Okučane. Djeca u tradicionalnim nošnjama su nas pozdravila...

...the first part of the meeting took place in front of the school.

...prvi dio prijema odigrao se ispred škole.

...and then the school's program continued in the gym hall.

...školski program nastavio se u dvorani...

Thank you Okučani for the welcome!

Hvala vam Okučani na gostoprimstvu!

...daily hightech business on the road...

The Croatian kids proofed to be really athletic: in each place we had runners who carried the torch into their community.

The kids in Novska headed for the main square!

Vrijeme je za još jedno drvo:

In teamwork with the kids the planting was successful!

U timskom radu sa djecom sadnja je bila uspješna!

What was that?
