Changes

Good thing that I hadn't read all this before I went hitchhiking in Norway - I might not have tried. I went from Tromsø northwards to Kåfjord (E6) with a friend, then we returned separately (I had to be back earlier). Everything went very smoothly, we never waited for longer than half an hour, and people were astonishingly friendly - not only the ones who picked us up, but even many people who didn't stop (smiling, waving, making apologising gestures..). Was it the sunny weather? Our sunny disposition? Plain luck? I don't know, I just thought I'd share this.

...and counter note #3 (from Paulgato - August 2010...) I just hitched a short distance near Oslo - from Rygge airport to the Swedish border on the E18 - and I got four lifts - all from Norwegians - and I found them all friendly and helpful. I'm a guy, I was hitching with a girl, and we both had huge rucksacks, which would have put off some drivers I'm sure. We had one long wait of an hour and a half when we were dropped off at a place where drivers couldn't easily stop, but we still beat the bus by a couple of hours.
