Europe

Belgium, France

Trips

First timers in France [1]

In Normandie, France, trying to hitchhike to Ouistreham, my first trip as a hitchhiker (September '08).

Stats

Total distance: 1656 km

Best scenery: the area around Cancale and St-Malo in France. Thanks to a very friendly doctor who drove us for more than one hour accros a coastline with beaches, clifs and oyster farms.

Longest distance 24hrs: 455.35km

Longest time waiting: 3 hours at Rennes, France

Most fun lift: after being stuck for 3 hours, a lift from Rennes to Paris. Spent 6 hours in a classic volkswagen van from '76 with a cool hippie girl driving through small villages and countryside

Shortest time waiting: 1 second in Ghent... I was hitchhiking home, walking on a big road. I turned so i faced the cars, and lifted my thumb. Just as i did this, a blue car was passing by and instantly stopped. Amazing!
