What a lovely day on Tuesday. As we entered Croatia at Bregana the roadside temperature sign was showing that it was 21 degrees. Yes, 21 degrees in February in a country, which is usually minus this temperature at this time of year. Still, must not complain Eh!
The new bridge between Croatia and Bosnia Herzegovina at Stara Gradiska is now finished and is now the official route through to Banja Luka and Sipovo. Much better than using Dvor border.
Arrived at the Metal Factory just outside Banja Luka on Tuesday afternoon. We met two other "Warisa" drivers. Bosnian Mick and Paul, who were having their trucks washed by two local lads.
Our load was destined for the camp at Sipovo, but as we were also loading back from there on Thursday, it was decided that Tommy would take his 24 hour weekly rest period off at Banja Luka and then we would go to Sipovo on Thursday and tip and reload the same day. This we did and then returned to Banja Luka for our overnight stop.
