I set out for a trip along museums in Germany and Switzerland. I do not remember details of the border check by the Germans, but in general they were quite unpleasant at that crossing. Many of the times I passed there they wanted to check my luggage or even my clothes, suspecting me to smuggle drugs. Once a shabby guy showed me his identity-card of the "Hilfspolizei". He spread a strong smell of alcohol. He wanted to search me for drugs. After arrival at the German border station of Leer I looked in the bookshop. The first I saw were the big letters "The Lie Of The Six Million" over the whole page of the "Nationalzeitung", the legal newspaper of the German neo-nazi's.

My German rail pass appeared to be valid for travel to Salzburg in Austria, and I could not withstand the temptation to make that trip just over the border. I made a walk through the centre of town and noticed many American tourists. I bought some food in a shop an asked the man why so many American tourists came to his town, as usually Americans only came to capitals. He said that Salzburg was made famous by the film "The Sound of Music".

Somewhat reluctant my girlfriend joined me for a cycling tour over the border. We took a small road, mainly used by cyclists, to a checkpoint which was open only a few hours a day. It was closed. A sign told us that it would open after one hour. I convinced my girlfriend not to wait and to ride around the barrier and continue, as I had done once before in the other direction. An obedient German couple who had installed themselves next to their bikes for an hour of waiting hesitated to follow us. Fifty meters further two heavily armed German policeman came out of the bushes and arrested us for illegally crossing a frontier. We had to follow them into their office, filled with pictures of terrorists, where one of them inspected our passports and started to fill in forms which would end with the high amount of the fine. In the meantime, however, not only the two Germans, but also an aged Dutch couple had crossed the border illegally, and the other policeman had apparently so much work to catch all those law-breakers that our guard got nervous, stopped the procedure and let us go.
