Slovonski Brod

Yesterday I said goodbye to Hannah and vidhe and set off for slovonski Brod, about 200 km east of Zagreb. Marko, our host in Zagreb, made me a nice little cardboard sign saying SB and gave me a bunch of fruit for the road. Such a lovely person. Vidhe and Hannah set off for Ljubljana and Venice and I was left all alone.! Got a ride all the way to slovonski Brod by three nice old men who gave me a sandwich and an orange. Dropped me at the toll where I got yelled at by the guy in the booth to get away.. A nice guy picked me up and brought me to the bus station where I got a taxi. I arrived here and no one was around so I just roamed around the beautiful yard. The house is made of mud and straw and the garden is a crazy jumble. The family got home a bit later and it turns out there are five other volunteers here too. Also five kids. Very, very loud kids... Fun fun. Today we painted and then went for a frolick in the woods. Found a pretty salamander and played with leaves.

The house!
