Brussels - Torino A / R
E cosi’ è stato: abbiamo deciso di non volare.
Sabato scorso hanno battezzato MG, della quale sono fiera madrina. Non potendo spostare il battesimo in Belgio, tutta la famiglia Brit è scesa in Italia. In macchina. 12 ore all’andata e 12 al ritorno in un fine settimana: estremamente rilassante.
Sulla via del ritorno, soli soletti senza Figlio Unico, rimasto in vacanza dai nonni per una decina di giorni, Mr Brit e io abbiamo capito l’importanza di viaggiare con bambini.
Avremo fatto il viaggio Bruxelles – Torino in macchina almeno venti volte e mai e poi mai ci hanno fermati al confine svizzero. Bastava un sorriso di Figlio Unico dal seggiolone a convincerli. Ieri invece ci hanno fermati e trattati hyppies by real subversives. On the other hand I can understand that seeing a pair of nearly forty who travels on a metallic gray Volkswagen Golf might seem very subversive in Switzerland. Control anti-drug and anti-explosive people, luggage and car. Reluctantly, they had to let go.
exit from the border with Switzerland and France, it was the turn of the French who were bored to death on a Sunday in late April. Through the window, did a little 'rite of questions to which Mr. Brit responded with his English humor. The French customs never smile, and the second tap UK, I was ready to having to undergo another inspection.
Customs: "Bonjour, vous avez des marchandises à TRUST? "
Mr. Brit:" ... une de chocolat suisse Tablette ... "
Silence of the customs officer.
"Transportez-vous de plus en espèces 10,000 euros? "
" J'aimerais bien, no corn, it malheureusement nous sommes pas riches is ... "
Silence of the customs officer who thinks if you let us park the car and start to open all our luggage! I pray that Mr. Brit to make the stop of humor.
"Qu'est-ce que vous Faites dans la vie?"
"Je suis avocat"
"Vous pouvez y aller."
What a great profession that of the lawyer: everyone expects that, by definition, you're a pain in the ass who wrote threatening letters threatening lawsuits. It just does not want anything to do with you unless you are obliged!
Modern pariah.
