Medininkai I follow the fence and arrive at the newe border crossing at Medininkai. I see everything from behind the fence. When the customs see me, they catch me. It seems I'm in a forbidden area.

	Border stones 1075 I approache the new border crossing at Medininkai. About 400 meters to go.
	Border stones 1076 A nice pair. The last before the border crossing.
	view over the strip I arrived at the new border crossing. It's a higher area that gives the opportunity to take a picture of where I came from. Still a narrow path along the fence.
	Border stones 1077 I can approach the border stones very close. Of course there is a fence but it's easy to make a picture here. I clearly saw the old fashioned sign "Belarus" like you always see it entering an old Sovjet-realted country.
	Border stones 1077 A closer look at the border stones. It was a pity the truck was standing there, otherwise I could have seen the 1078 pair. There was no sign the truck would leave soon. Many, many trucks and cars but not much activity.
	Through the fence A look through the netting of the fence. Truck drivers gazed at me, what did I do at that side of the fence? Good question...
	Fence A look at the spot where I took the pictures of the 1077 pair. This fence runs along the A3, the main road between Vilnius and Minsk. I came uphill from the right. The gate right from the camera was closed, of course.
	Custom area This was the last picture here. The guy (a custom officer) on the left of the picture notices me and arrested me. I was taken into an office on the border area. I found a picture of that building on the website of the State Border Guard Service. After some hours I had to pay a penalty of 75 Litas: I had entered the 'yellow zone', a forbidden area that starts about 200 meters before the border. When I arrived back at my car, there was some time left before it got dark. I decided to go to the border crossing of the railroad. Last page >>
