Final Day

Our final day in Slovenia started off with breakfast, as per usual. This was followed by an unsurprisingly hectic hour of packing. Once these were out the way, we walked to Ljubljana for one final visit whilst the sun was out. Helen then decided on a meeting point which was followed by us breaking down into smaller groups and exploring independently. Lots of girls came back with souvenirs and momentos to take back home with them. All the groups reunited and, after a brief break, the leaders distributed badges among us. We then locked a padlock on the butchers bridge. It had on it the words,"sisters in guiding". A representative from both senior section and guides (Rebecca and Olivia) threw the keys into the river below. The morning was concluded by grabbing lunch.

After this we walked back to the youth hostel and changed into our guide uniform. The shuttles then took us to the airport. We went through customs and duty free and are awaiting to board our flight that keeps getting delayed.
We are now on the flight but are yet to take off soon .

We are now on the plane but we have to wait for more than 2 hours to set off, but luckily we have Helen to keep us active. We played a 1 word story and we sang lots of songs yay! We were all having a good time, even though we are not in the air yet.

After a long time of waiting we are currently moving and about to set of ( but Sarah the flight attendant is checking our seatbelts) the plane is getting faster and faster and we're off. The view is amazing! We can see all the houses and the trees below us.
We are higher than the clouds and the sky is amazing there are lots of different colours. We're now mid air and either sleeping or chatting and eating . Very exciting! Food's here!!

The view is wonderful, it is like a perfectly white mountains in the Alps determined to be the proudest creatures on earth.

We've been in the air for a while now and most of us have got over the exhilaration of leaving. Now most of us are thinking of the familiar faces, sights, smells and sounds of Home Sweet Home. We've had such a fun time in Ljubljana: we've been on a number of tours, swam in two different lakes and the sea, collected souvenirs for friends and family, learnt a variation of foreign words, had a laugh with some of our closest mates and basked in the unfamiliar blare of the sun - so much has happened that we've hardly had time to think of anything else!

Leaving is half a burden and half a relief. We'll all miss Slovenia deeply and treasure the happy memories that we made there. Overall we've all had an amazing trip and can't wait for the next Guide holiday.
