Busted!

The night before yesterday we arrived at Bemelen, a small village right next to Maastricht.
It wasn't a bad ride, it took us about 5 hours. Our french friend Arnaud was driving us, he bought a penthouse magazine on the way so we had lots of fun!

Then yesterday me and Rico went to check out Maastricht on our bikes that we borrowed from Christel, the lady who we're staying with. It's a really nice city, we chilled out and walked around a bit. Apparently there was a fair or whatever it's called. We did some prize shooting and we won 2 toy BB guns with some extra ammo. They didn't work that well but my Kalashnikov looked awesome! I already saw myself back at the ashram running around, popping anything that moves.
But this vision was shattered to pieces when at night, the police came to our door. It was pretty much the entire Bemelen police force haha, you have to imagine that there's like 500 people living here.
So the police came and confiscated our newly aquired weapons of mass destruction because we were seen, walking around with our red bandanas and guns, by some of the locals.
I must say I thought it was pretty funny, I mean who makes that up? Real guns? And why would the police ring the door if I had a real kalashnikov?
Oh well, whatever. I asked the police officer to take a picture of me and rico with our guns and bandanas because we wanted something to memorize this event. Rico also has some cool pictures on his phone.

However, we don't give up that easily, one of these days we'll buy new guns, like water pistols, so we can run around the ashram and spray people :)
You'll know when we're back, trust me!
