I spent the night (Saturday) and the following day in a small town near Erlangen, Germany to visit my friend Lea , who I met in Marrakech. It was her 21st birthday. She's maybe taller than Kasper. She traveled all of West Africa mostly-solo. Kinda amazing. It was good to see her.
I spent a lot of time on the road after that, hitching back to Porto. Mostly ok. I can handle most situations now. I went through France all by night, except the last sliver of [[Basque country]] in the following day (yesterday), where I met a filmmaker near Biarritz, who let me take a shower and eat some quinoa and bio (from the garden) tomatoes and peppers for an early lunch. Then I got some very nice, very concerned Portuguese camioneros who took me to Portugal. ''[[User:Amylin|Amylin]], October 15 2008'' == Erinmack == I woke up with itchy feet and decided I needed to see something new...but I wanted to be back by evening. I chose a small city two and a half hours away, Karlskrona (Sweden). My morning ride went off without a hitch, so to speak - premiering my new dry-erase board (20 Swedish crowns), I scored a ride directly there (!) out of Lund in less than five minutes with a former bodybuilder eager to regale me with tales of his great American roadtrip in vivid detail. When he stopped @ McD's, insisting it was his treat, I admitted to being vegan, but he wouldn't relent, so I ordered a salad with vinaigrette dressing. Karlskrona had a small archipelago, lots of sea birds, and a great thrift shop, so I was happy. ''[[User:Erinmack|Erinmack]], October 5 2008'' == Jem == After the cops went and laughed at me:"Nobody's gonna take you, hahaha". I just thought that one single car is enough to take me out from this place. In a tiny village near Amberg, I waited less than one hour. A Czech driver took me for a 1800km ride: Barcelona! Sometimes hitch hiking is so easy. For 2 days, we listened good music, spending good times together. Hitchhiking isn't only a means of transportation, it is also a means to friendship. When I left his car, I was just... somewhere else. Gone again... ''Jem, September 18th 2008'' = James =Ralf == Hitchhiking was easy today, got a ride from the [[Liftershalte|Liftersplaats]] in [[Amsterdam|A'dam]] directly to [[Muiden]] service station. The guys who picked me up went to [[Rotterdam]] but were so friendly to drive a detour :), from there to [[Amersfoort]]----Noord, bad spot but got a ride in a VW Kaefer directly to Voorthuizen, there hitched to service station Lucasgat, got a ride by the worst smelling truck ever to Hengelo servicestation, and from there directly a ride from a Danish guy going all the way to Norway!! (grrr, missed chance!) 3,5 hours, no problem. Thanks for Friday night,guess I'll visit [[Amsterdam|A'dam]] again soon :) ''[[User:Platschi|Ralf]], September 15th 2008''  == James == Yeah 3 rides! Some German musician folk who speak Dutchwith each other, 2 Romanian fellas who say they wheregoing to [[Dortmund]], and drove quite near [[Hannover]] whichwas odd because they changed their mind regarding onsome onsome phone calls. Chatting with my friend Justin here, hereckons they where most probably involved in movinggirls around, they where kinda dodgy. And also a super niceGerman family who live about 30 ks away but yep uguessed - it drove me to the door, yeah it's just how Ipictured traveling when I was a younger.

=== Kai ===----The trip went great! But I'm actually not that sureabout the spot at the bus lane. I think there washardly anyone driving in our direction. After about 1hour however a very cool former [[hitchhiking|hitchhiker]] stopped forus and brought us to the next petrol station eventhough it wasn't his direction either. After that itwas no problem to get to [[Bremen]].The next day hitchhiking out of [[Bremen]] was the mostdifficult part, it was like a cultural shock suddenlyfacing all these ignorant or disgusted glances fromthe German drivers. So different from [[France]] &[[Netherlands]], kinda sad.Thanks again for taking us in! Without you it probably
would have been wild camping & a grumpy Sandra
