I Value My Privacy

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. 😌

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.

@samueltyler2 Luckily they let us go...Phew!☺

@SW-User did you find out what they were looking for?

SW-User

@samueltyler2 No idea at all.

We were told to stand by, by the bus. Everybody in the group had his own opinion/hunch, of course.....I was unusually silent because I have some contraband in my luggage - cannabis sweets from Amsterdam, which is legal only there, but not outside AMS. Luckily, they didn't searched thoroughly, I guess....

@SW-User where do you live? Was this a group tour from a cruise or something? We are booked for a cruise next fall from Amsterdam to Lisbon.

SW-User

@samueltyler2 Aww, that's great.....I am on a group tour.

samueltyler2 · 80-89, M

@SW-User from where to where?

SW-User

@samueltyler2 Central Europe, with London and Ireland extension.

@SW-User great tour, although, I am not a fan of bus trips. Is this current?

SW-User

@samueltyler2 Yep.😊

@SW-User where are you now?

SW-User

@samueltyler2 Italy....It's tiring!😊

samueltyler2 · 80-89, M

@SW-User how long is the trip? Where in Italy?

SW-User

@samueltyler2 We're in Rome. Vacation ends in Nov. 9. (sigh) Feeling homesick too.

samueltyler2 · 80-89, M

@SW-User that is a very long trip. We were in Rome last year, it was too crowded and dirty.

SW-User

@samueltyler2 I was telling my son the place is dirty, indeed. And the people lack road courtesy. Parking is worst....That's the reason, I don't want to go to EU during summertime. It's congested....Ancient Rome is so awesome and very educational though.

@SW-User I used to find myself back.at the senate and whatever that hill is called, every day at least once. We were there last year, summer of 2017. I was impressed at how white Trevi Fountain was. We spent some time at the Rome Synagogue and heard the story about how it was spared from the Nazis.

SW-User

@samueltyler2 Yeah, Trevi Fountain is so clean! Me too was impressed....Oh, so many things I learned from visiting places. Every story is interesting.🙂

samueltyler2 · 80-89, M

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

SW-User

@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.🙂

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