1/4/08 – Customs

My, oh my. Disembarkment has taken a wee bit longer than expected today. Despite arriving at noon and the ship being cleared by officials at 12:45, it is taking a very long time to get everyone through customs. Mr. & Mrs. S & I were not called to leave the ship until almost 4 o’clock. And to make matters worst, the customs officials were not familiar with my Gnomistani passport. What a scene that caused! Thankfully the large customs officer with the latex glove was surprisingly gentle. Finally we made it to the car. Farewell, Explorer of the Seas, farewell!
