This is a question Travel

I've had guns pointed at me in many different countries, sometimes even by our own side. I've also sat on my own on a beach on a desert island, which was nice because nobody was trying to shoot me. Tell us your tales of foreign travel.

Thanks to SnowytheRabbit for the suggestion

if you ever want to set up an international drug/gun running cartel,
do it via Klaipeda in Lithuania. I arrived from Tallinn via Riga and was expecting oh, I don't know, customs or a passport check or something.

Nothing of the sort. It was as if we'd all got off a bus on the outskirts of some provincial town centre.

by the way, I never told you this...

Until a few years ago you could take a direct flight from Amsterdam to the teeny tiny airport in Cambridge.
Customs and immigration control consisted of nodding politely to the people milling about on the tarmac as you walked from the plane to the little shed at the exit.

Not so surprising
Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are all part of the EU so there's no customs barriers between them, and they're all part of Schengen so there's no routine immigration control either.
