Present continuous

So today, Kathy and I are flying to Sarajevo.

Gerund

So once we land in Sarajevo, we're actually driving to Dubrovnik first, in Croatia, staying there for a couple nights, and then driving to Mostar, back to Bosnia, and then our final stop is Sarajevo.

Past simple

Kathy booked it for us, to check in for any scratches beforehand.

Yeah, are you going to be okay driving that?

Yeah, Kathy is pretty fearless, so from here, it's four hours to Croatia.

There's like this little market and this little restaurant here.

So I'm glad they had this because we were starving.

We didn't know where to stop by to eat, and we just happened to find this on the side of the road in the mountains.

So we got some snacks on the side of the road.

This is what I had in Serbia for the first time.

And all this, she said, was it was really cheap.

We're going to calculate how much that...

Okay, so we're going to calculate this later, but I believe it was dirt cheap.

Okay, so we were on our way to Dubrovnik.

We, you know, got on our flight to Sarajevo from Belgrade.

We found this little cute market on the side of the road.

And we're like, yeah, now we're like all full.

So now we're kind of stuck on the road because, well, we don't know what to do.

So we called or messaged the rental company with WhatsApp.

Kathy messaged one of the guys that we talked to earlier that gave us the car.

And first he was like, well, do you have a spare?

Yeah, so I double checked too, just to make sure that we did not have a spare tire.

I took out all the luggage, lifted up the back of the trunk.

There's supposed to be a spare tire, but there was none.

And so then like five minutes later, he texted her back and said,

OK, my colleague will come out there and get, you know, either fix the tower or tower tire or give you a new car.

The other problem is that we're already like an hour and like 15 minutes probably out of Sarajevo.

So we have to wait for him for over an hour.

Yes, there's like a town near here because our husband, you know, he's back in Serbia, but he checked on the Internet real quick to see if there's a car shop nearby.

But now, you know, it's like this other guy is coming.

So now we're waiting for this guy to message us back and tell us when exactly he'll be here or just give us an ETA of when he'll be here, because it's going to get dark soon.

We're going to go down there and knock on their door and ask for help because that's going to be our only option.

That's like a 16 minute drive, but that'll be a long walk for us.

So it'd be kind of dangerous, too, because these are like windy roads.

People are kind of driving fast on this, too.

And we're still waiting for this guy to pick us up.

So an hour ago, he said that his colleague was coming there.

Actually, they actually needed to pick up a tire for this car and also bring a new car that we're going to be taking over.

So he said it would probably take a while.

He said an hour and a half to two hours max.

So I think it's been like an hour and a half now since we originally talked to him, which was what?

Now it is getting dark and I don't want to be here in the dark.

So and we can't now we can't walk anywhere.

Oh, and in the middle of it, these two guys are both in guys.

They saw our flat tire and try to help us.

So her husband got on the phone and kind of talked to them.

But it was really nice of them to stop by and check up on us to make sure that we were OK, because everybody else was driving by and doing nothing.

So which is fine, because there is somebody coming to help.
