We were up early to make sure we wouldn't miss our train from Brussels to Charles de Gaulle Airport. We boarded our fast train and Rob said I was going a bit over the top with double checking that we were on the correct train. Another man on the train who came from Mexico but spoke english seemed to be even more concerned than me. We stopped at Lille and he went to get off but luckily another man reassured him he was on the correct train to the Airport. A bit later a group of customs officers came into our carriage and checked who was with which bag etc. Rob noticed they all had guns and flack jackets. Of course the poor Mexican fellow had to produce his passport and then the officers searched his luggage. I think the poor guy was beside himself by the time they finished. They just asked us which bags were ours and smiled and walked on.
We arrived safely at Charles de Gaulle Airport and had plenty of time to spare. Our only downer here was that Rob had bought a package of very small wine bottles in the Rhine Valley for David. He had been carefully carrying them around in his backpack and must have forgot they were there so they were taken away from him when we went through security. Oh well, things could have been alot worse. Our flight home was pretty uneventful and Jas picked us up from the Adelaide airport at the end of this wonderful adventure.
