Hitchhiking from Berlin to Brussels

All of a sudden we found ourselves in a gas station asking people if they might give us a lift~
It was a sunny morning on the skirts of Berlin. We left germany without spending even an singel euro~ )We stayed there 3 days( People, wherever you should be traveling , check out couchsurfing.com before. It*s the the stepstone to the new age of sharing humanity and care.

You might heard something from german highways~ They are everywhere and you can drive as fast you would like. So no problem~ Every time I start to hitchhike I give away all the expections and thoughts what is good or what is bad. Only thing to follow is common sense and the feeling inside. We succeeded quite well. Mr. Enno fromg Germany helped us to get to Hannover. He gave good insights of the music life behind the quirtains. So I call you up to buy some records sometimes. I mean the ones you really like ;D and do not live ower your budget just because you think you might all kind of fancy things~

All of a sudden our wave dissapeared. So we were waiting for the right car for 5 hours. Nothing happened. HItCHHIKING - no problem. ;D

If the cars are not willing to move you, then you must move yourself.
SO after a while we got a lift. One hint~ It is possible to get a lift even in the city.
We almost managed to get to Netherlands, but the darkness came by before that. Restaurant was empty and all the truckdrivers seemed to sleep~

We managed to get a free dinner and eat some junkfood~ But the intention from the owners was light. Food is holy~



What do you think how the police is working Germany~ Pretty well we could say. We tried to hike a bit on a highway.. "Why not?" we thought. I mean, there werent so many cars going by and they werent going full speed... But that wasnt a reason good enough. "Man o Man!" screamed the police. Lots of fear and anger jumped out from the car. Hitchhikers are minority~sorry ;D

So we slept under the oak trees~
In the morning we made some tea and ate the blessings from the yesterdays dinner )eggs and bread( packed our bags and started to walk. (this time not on the highway:) And suddenly we were sitting in the separate trucks and saying hello to each other through walkie talkies. Kind polish truckdrivers decided to help us on our journey. We didnt go all the way down to France -Belgium was enough. On that holy day, I mean Sunday, everything went easy.



A couple who volounteered to take us to Brussels, were just before discussing leaving their homecountry for a longer period. THe guy was ready to go and surf and explore somewhere in brasil or similar, but he also liked her girlfriend who wanted to stay. A dilemma. So we gave them some insights of our purpose and shared the possibility to follow your dream.

All the people whom we met and all the people we are about to meet - they all have a reason for us. And ofcourse we are there for them also for a reason ;D

World is the place to share~to meet~and to Love.

800 km through western europe went like shiuhh~



Goodbye Estonian Thick forests and untouched swamps~ welcome streets and highways.
Perfect cities and balanced societies.

Lets wake up from the dream of better tomorrow.
Lets act now to find or to follow the path. The path of light~
