Woke up forty minutes late by accident but made it to the station in good time. The countryside in Belarus is very beautiful, and it was weird to think about all the trouble they were going through environmentally. Apparently 90% of the Chernobyl fallout settled in Belarus. Well, We made it through Minsk, and to Brest, but just before we got into Poland a customs agent kicked us off of the train.
Oh yeah, did you know that you needed a visa to be in Belarus? We didn't! So we spent the next few hours sitting in the train terminal with a couple guards. Luckily we were brought to a sort of hostel inside of the train station for the night. We think that we'll get the visa papers taken care of early in the morning and be back on our way to Berlin.
Oh my god, We were illegals in Eastern Europe!!
