We can't even begin to imagine how long it would take for them to get through the border!<br /><br />We have found in general that wine and beer are definitely cheaper in Europe than back in Canada and in the Balkans is seems to be even cheaper. We can understand the higher prices in Turkey because it is predominately a Muslim country so not much alcohol gets drunk there.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-26514351646967600602022-04-22T01:50:24.585-04:002022-04-22T01:50:24.585-04:00We have crossed enough borders through the years, ...We have crossed enough borders through the years, especially between Mexico and the US to know that the trucks are always funnelled into special lanes just for them and cars go through a separate area. Plus the road was wide enough to allow for vehicles to pass the trucks and still have room for vehicle to pass coming the other way.<br /><br />We actually did see a guy in a little truck that moved along side the trucks selling sandwiches and snacks, we are sure that he has a great business going for himself.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18136052866820208847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7171307653508307040.post-35345483622612132792022-04-22T01:43:34.622-04:002022-04-22T01:43:34.622-04:00We are glad that the border crossing went so easil...We are glad that the border crossing went so easily too.
