A Journey Across Borders

In Trip no.3 I go on a whistle-stop tour of Europe, from Sweden to the Netherlands, to Italy and back to Sweden again, via Germany (all in the space of about 6 days). As I pass through the Schengen area, barely needing to show a passport, I look at the way border officials treat non-EU travellers' papers with suspicion, and discuss the calls to bring back blue passports, and the potential future rules and visas that Britons may need to visit the EU.
