Coming Home
I've got a short pause in the madness that is currently my life of work, getting ready to move and trying to have a family life, so back to the memoir for a short moment.
I loved my first 6 month tour of Bosnia. It's a beautiful country filled with passionate people (who sometimes want to kill each other) and I hope to return there someday as a tourist rather than a soldier.
But 6 months is 6 months. 6 months of not being able to walk out of the camp unless I was working. 6 months of living in a a porta-kabin. 6 months of work without a real day off. 6 months of living in the pockets of other people whether I wanted to be there or not.
So there was a mixture of relief and sadness as I got on the coach to take me to the airport.
Oh and a little nervousness as well - I was getting married in a fortnight.

To be honest in your shoes I would have rather taken another 6 months of Bosnia, war criminals and all.
But that's just me
