  • I had a feeling it was not gonna be easy! After Maree “surprised” me with crossing into North Macedonia today we faced some problems going out of Albania. Maree used invalid car papers for some reason (it must have worked going to Africa 😅) and after finding the right papers we were asked to drive into a garage where they took apart EVERYTHING. they were looking for drugs, cigarettes and anything else that could be smuggled illegally. So annoying and it took quite a while. Also super lucky our green insurance card is valid (obviously I haven’t checked that in advance) Oh boy….what a nightmare! Nice surprise, let’s not do it again 🫣 hopefully Eve will bring me to the apartment with the rest of the battery since I am not quite sure how the charging is gonna be like here…let’s see

    I have to say, respectfully, that as soon as you told them the wrong country, their radar would have gone off, then, not having all of your documents ready to go, looks like being evasive. I’m not at all surprised at the issues you faced. I have done some travelling myself.

    Every journey should have surprises, it makes for your viewer's entainment. The quest for you hunting a working charging station, was replaced by a border crossing. Expect to be searched at borders occasionally. However, it's unusual that you were searched leaving a country and not entering it. As usual great drone videos. Maree, he needs training in surprises, it will prepare him for the unexpected in the undeveloped countries.

    • @MarcTravels

    Breathe in, breathe out ... Border crossing was a bit nerving and Maree must have felt awkward when the search was happening ... this wasn't planned after all.

    I am not certain about your travel plans but I would advise you both to have the proper papers in order. I have travel the world with my bike and you could have some bad surprises crossing into some countries! Not to scare you but some people have had their bikes and or cars confiscated by customs! Mexico/Chiapas , just to name one country, is very famous for that! Good luck!

  • @xrv404

    I dont think Marie is totally fair at 3:35.
    You told her that you where exhausted and worn down, and she agreed to take the lead. Well knowing that a border crossing is a stressfull thing for a sensitive man that just told you hes a little low and stressed out at the moment. Then she says 'but what have you prepared? - Nothing!'. Thats not super cool.
    You handled the situation super cool and kept calm 👍🏻 Respect.
    You are a lovely couple, dont let youtube control you or your path.
    RUclips is a imagine thing in the sky and money will never make you trully happy anyway. Make eachother happy each day instead of us viewers, and just upload when you feel great about it.
    Lots of love to the both of you!

      No such thing as an "uneccessary search" to a customs officer, having had my car turned out in Germany once looking for drugs as i had come from Belgium , in a Swedish car. No point getting angry with anyone who is just doing their job. I do not do surprises like that either.

    • @onyekaonyia8395
      @onyekaonyia8395 Год назад

      Calm down people. When I said “unnecessary searches,” I meant from the point of view of the person being searched… there’re few things quite as frustrating as being made to unpack all your belongings at a border crossing when you know you aren’t trying to smuggle anything across. Unfortunately we live in a world where such searches are required. At such times keeping a level head is needed… hence me congratulating Marc & Marie for keeping their cool despite their frustration.

    Sie wollte dir eine Überraschung machen, ja und am Ende hast du gesehen wie schön sie war, aber für sie wird sie immer mit deiner negativen Grundstimmung zusammen sein.

    Ehrlich, diese Erfahrung mache ich vielleicht nie, aber du/ihr habt jetzt was zu erzählen.

    • @meinekleineweltreise
      @meinekleineweltreise Год назад +1

      This is actually necessary for almost every country in the world. That’s why they usually ask you at the border where you will stay the first night. Travelers are mostly not aware of it, because they stay in places (hotel, Hostal, campsites, …) where they can register you.

    It's when it all turns to crap that you get the best stories - if it had all been plain sailing, you'd just be able to tell people 'then we spent a few days in North Macedonia', and tha would be it. As it is, you now have a tale to tell for the rest of your lives! (At least you didn't get held at gunpoint by customs, as I did in Romania .... But this is YOUR channel, not mine! 😂)

    I had this stop and search situation in my own country UK because i stopped to stretch my legs on an Airport perimeter road so they tipped my glove box contents onto the grass verge and popped the front door panels away from the door and when they got bored with me i was told if i wanted to complain about the treatment i would have to do some paperwork.
    so then i said it seemed pointless and the went and left me so pick my shit up
    cant imagine how much worse it is in another country
    so hope you dont hold your anger too long because its a very small bit of your life Mr Marc

    Although i was a small child, i can still remember the late 70s and early 80s well, when we traveled by car from Germany to all western European countries (really every country) and often enough not only the passports were checked (especially at the Spanish border)... but I have never experienced or seen any car (not truck) being searched on exit. When a car was searched, it was always upon entry into the next country.

    Maree chose a great place! But agree that not being in mind set to deal with border crossings is a very unpleasant surprise, even as a nin-Gernan. Lots of triggers to get sent over to be searched--sucks during the event, but indeed was well worth the effort to get to Ohrid! (And nice that it's easy to get new SIM cards when needed--I'm well past millennial, but don't like not getting internet when I want either 😂. But nice to have an "off" button!)
