What are the odds that we have Wifi on the bus...well, I'm certainly not complaining! We just left Brussels finally, after a very exciting encounter with the Belgium Police. We stopped by the Eurolines office, where many police officers came on, looking in every cupboard and shelf. Canines were outside as well, and everyone sat in their seat slightly uncomfortable. Being that we were in the French speaking part of Belgium, I understood nothing that was being said. Before we knew it, we were handing over our passports!
They started asking each passenger to get off the bus, one by one. At first only the men were asked to get off, but eventually we were too. It ended up being just a routine border check- which we had no idea until it was over! We were taken into a warehouse, where our bags were searched and we were patted down. The Belgium police were exceedingly attractive however, so we weren't bothered by the experience. After a good fifteen minutes of waiting, we were let back onto the bus! I'm pretty sure the same amount of people got back on that had gotten off, so no one was without legal papers of some sort.
This journey has already started off exciting! Luckily we haven't run into any actual trouble...yet!
Going to go back to sleep for now, we still have a long time until Paris...
