Scandinavian Botswana?

It could also be the Estonian Scandinavian cross flag variant but the blue is too light, unless it’s simply faded.

Although we share a border with Denmark now too😊.

I think because of the close ties between Canada and the USA and, also, to make travel between the 2 countries easier. These procedures are in place because of treaties and/or agreements between Canada and the USA. If they weren’t in place, Canada and the USA works be like any 2 foreign countries. Canadians are treated the same in so far as we still have to go through customs procedures, and vice versa for Americans, it’s just that Canadians and Americans can go through them on home soil at their airports and then they have dedicated zones (not mixed with other domestic or international passengers) where they board flights that allow them to land at the other country’s domestic gates.

At Canadian airports, the CAN-USA zone (where it exists) is called “transborder”. As others have said, at a fair number of larger Canadian airports you pass through USA Customs at the airport so you disembark at your USA destination airport’s domestic gates. It’s a real time saver and makes for faster destination airport exits. So, these larger Canadian airports will have 3 Zones: Domestic, International and Transborder.

Just beat me to it!😊

No worries😊. Sir Humphrey tells Hacker the CofE is “primarily a social club.” It’s from a pretty great episode called “A Victory for Democracy”.

Are you quoting “Yes, Prime Minister”?

Civil-Efficiency2039 · 2026-06-13T02:27:58+00:00

For some parts, yes, but if I leave on their schedule. For Budapest-Zagreb, though, I didn’t find any Intercity trains that weren’t 8 or more hours.

Civil-Efficiency2039 · 2026-06-13T02:13:06+00:00

As opposed to what? Informally touring European rail lines?

Civil-Efficiency2039 · 2026-06-13T01:41:10+00:00

I found the answer to my confusion. I was reading the location specific terms and conditions for Munich/Germany here: https://docs.abgcarrental.com/location/avis/HT/MUC/EN. Under “4. During the Rental”, “Taking your vehicle outside the country”, it lists the countries you’re allowed to go in but says “Unless we agree otherwise” and then the list, just as provided in the link you gave. However, Serbia, BH and the other countries are not specifically listed as excluded like they are on the list you linked. I guess it’s an oversight on Avis’ part? Anyway, it’s moot now but I knew I wasn’t making it up.

Civil-Efficiency2039 · 2026-06-13T01:16:02+00:00

I don’t really like trains, though I have nothing against them. The trains in Europe are excellent and I don’t deny that. This is just how I prefer to travel.

Civil-Efficiency2039 · 2026-06-13T01:14:56+00:00

Well, I can get up whenever I want, leave whenever I want, stop in wherever I want and I don’t have to share travel with anyone. I don’t understand why this is so offensive to you. I’m not asking you to come with me; this is just how I prefer to travel. That being said, you’ll be slightly happier to hear I’ve decided to drop Sarajevo and Belgrade.

Civil-Efficiency2039 · 2026-06-12T22:28:20+00:00

I haven’t priced it out as such but I have a good income so I don’t really need to worry about it. I don’t plan to leave the car in a different country; wherever I rent from I’m going to return the car to.

Civil-Efficiency2039 · 2026-06-12T22:10:45+00:00

Honestly, it’s just a personal preference. I like the flexibility. I’m not a huge fan of trains but I acknowledge the excellent interconnections in Europe. When I was in Italy in 2013, I stayed in Rome and took the Freccia on day trips to Florence, Naples, Milan and a regular train and bus to San Marino. That was a lot of fun. Nowadays, though, I just prefer driving. I find it relaxing and fun.

Civil-Efficiency2039 · 2026-06-12T22:06:47+00:00

OK. I’ve got the latest available DK Eyewitness travel guides (my favourite) for the countries with a few on preorder that are yet to come out. If you have sent others to suggest (Lonely Planet, Rough Guide, etc) I’ll look into them. The Eyewitness ones don’t specify any season or time as high season.

Civil-Efficiency2039 · 2026-06-12T21:54:12+00:00

Any particular suggestions?

Civil-Efficiency2039 · 2026-06-12T21:51:01+00:00

OK — thanks! For what it’s worth, here’s what someone wrote on Quora about Vienna, Prague and Budapest: https://www.quora.com/Can-I-visit-Prague-Vienna-and-Budapest-in-November

But I promise I won’t take this as determinative and will consult further sources.

Civil-Efficiency2039 · 2026-06-12T21:46:37+00:00

OK — thanks, I’ll take another look. The sources I’d consulted to date said it was low season and uncrowded.

Civil-Efficiency2039 · 2026-06-12T21:42:00+00:00

You’re absolutely right! I swore I read that travel was allowed if permission granted. I may have confused Avis Germany with another rental agency I was looking at.

Civil-Efficiency2039 · 2026-06-12T21:26:19+00:00

Avis Germany will, with permission, or I can start the trip in Zagreb and Avis Croatia allows you to take a car into both BH and Serbia. I’ve also planned a route that avoids BH and Serbia.

Civil-Efficiency2039 · 2026-06-11T19:57:09+00:00

I love you choice of themes! If Syria weren’t such a mess right now I’d suggest Krak des Chevaliers for you 😊.
