I believe you have to be invited, there is lots of red tape and paperwork to do and it has to be with a special organized tour. Apparently we have also heard that if you have too much of a presence on the internet you could be turned down.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-42517546703755060002014-09-09T16:05:21.198-04:002014-09-09T16:05:21.198-04:00Should have worded that, "even BEFORE enterin...Should have worded that, "even BEFORE entering the zone" :-)Estherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11051109615463656651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-2363510443926200352014-09-09T15:56:16.013-04:002014-09-09T15:56:16.013-04:00Firstly LOVE LOVE your header photo.

It's the highest building in Western Europe and we just loved the views over London.<br /><br />I would definitely visit the demilitarized border zone.
