Malcolm warned us that crossing into Russia could be an interesting experience. He said the guards would not be smiling or pleasant and that we may have to wait for some time at the border while they decided they would open the doors and let us through. Well we caught them on a good day and the we were through the border within half an hour. The guards hopped on the bus and checked it as well as checking our luggage in case we were trying to smuggle extra passengers in. We have surrendered our passports and will not get them back till after we leave Belarus. It was interesting to see most of the border guards were women. We never attempted to take photos either, just to be on the safe side as we didn't want an unscheduled extended stay in Russia.
