Happy you had no contact with the French police. However we did, and we have been traveling since the mid 80s. We have a villa on Island, and never ever drove drunk. He also had to pay a steep fine to get out of jail. Sorry if this report insults some, the truth hurts sometimes... We do not go back... We have great resturants and night life on the dutch side. Hope they can meet the concerns of tourists, as we used to love it... For now... that's our story... oh and by the way!!! they were mean in allowing my husband to walk miles back to his car where they picked him up, its hot and was in the middle of the day... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" />
