I definitely had a few chuckles reading about your day. I remember reading Cheri and Tony's blog that they had to use the customs broker because of the menaje de casa. They said they would pay the tax, but he said they couldn’t because they had the menaje de casa. I think it is easier to pay the tax too. Did they make you show proof that you paid the tax at any of the checkpoints? Did you have to walk into customs or could you have driven through a line with no items to declare? Did you have to push a button for any red/green lights?
I can't wait to see the pics! Get a good night's rest and I look forward to the next report and new adventures tomorrow! BTW, are you planning to drive during the trip or are you leaving that all to Dave? |
I had to show proof of the tax paid and the list of items that I actually declared at the check point. The check point that I went through seemed must more strict than Customs! When you actually drive through the customs area (must like you would drive through a toll booth, I think that the tires automatically pushes the button either green or red. I never saw the light when we went through but Dave said he did.
I plan on driving a little but much of my time in the car is taking pictures and lots of notes. Maybe I will give Dave a break tomorrow if he can promise to write EVERYTHING down!
Pics are on their way...I just uploaded to photobucket.
