    Default Smuggling an old lady into Albania

    Done anything unusual today?

    Even for me smuggling an old lady from Kings Lynn into Albania is unusual.

    We were taking a day trip on a coach from Montenegro across into Albania to explore some castle ruins, and she couldn't find her passport when we got to the border, so we hid her in the toliet.

    And that, of course, is the start of a piece of fiction you are writing and not, in any way, shape or form, a public confession of law breaking.

    Italian immigration is my least favourite. Too many peaked caps and too little action.

    Although Hurghada, where they said this is not your photograph on your passport and pointed a gun with one hand and open palm for a bribe with the other was tricky. I think that line was well rehearsed.

    I thought you were supposed to smuggle people out of Albania not into it!

    You are more intrepid than I! The nearest I've got to being asked fora bribe was being stuck on a bus on the Mexico/Belize border while the Mexicans tried in vain to extract a bribe from an American student. He was traveling with a friend and they had spent his money first so he had nothing to give them!!!
