Border security patrol searching our bus. Whatever happened to Schengen Rule. Ah, probably it's because the group is a mixture of different nationalities from all over the world. I admit I was shaken a little bit because of my cannabis chocolate, biscuits and lollipops. 馃槍

They must have had a tip about something. Did they find anything? It would have shaken me up. It is something out of the prior war era.

@SW-User are you keeping a diary of the trip and record the stories.

@samueltyler2 Yes, sir. Only I am so tired at the end of the day, that I cannot even write a very short story. Probably, when I get back.馃檪

@SW-User it may be difficult to remember. Perhaps use the dictation app on your phone. Is your son still with you?

Searches are no fun. That reminds me of when we entered France from Germany via the bus that they stopped us at the border. There was a strong scent of wine on everyone of them and I was singled out because I used my Seabag as my luggage. They dumped my bag unceremoniously on the road and had me rearrange everything afterwards as I could hear them chuckle.
I have always had a strong affection for the French people and still do.

I do hope your anxiety didn鈥檛 cause you harm. 馃お

@drymer One change I am aware of is crossing borders is no longer a hassle, unlike before. I was thinking, the reason why our bus was searched it's because our group is composed of delegates from non-Schengen countries too.....But just the same, I had the scare of my life.

That makes perfect sense...

My parents tell me a story when they traveled from Bavaria to Berlin by train, in the 1960s, passing through communist East Germany, they said [i]that[/i] was terrifying, it seemed that the East German guards checking people's papers made a point of being "rude and scary"...

@drymer I am aware that with the Schengen Rule, searching/checking is no longer mandatory on crossing borders. But like I said, there are indeed delegates from non-Schengen countries in the group and that must be the reason why it was done. Thank you.馃檪
