20.07.

In the same day we passed almost whole France. French people are really polite and they really always want to help. What’s more is easy to hitchhike in France, the only thing is that we don’t speak French, and French people generally don’t speak English (there are some exceptions of course)…so unfortunately we couldn’t have conversation which is one of the most important factor in hitchhiking.

The sun was already setting  and we were 150 km to Irun. One car left us in some big petrol station and we started to find another car, we were thinking that maybe the same day we would be in Spain.  Suddenly one woman came to us and asked if we need a lift! It was second situation like that the same day! Ana was French and she was in the way back to home in Dux with his daughter from holiday. It was really nice to talk with she and her teenage daughter. We were quite close to Dux when the thunderstorm cameL But of course two women didn’t let us without any help:  they invited us to their house. We made some pasta, drunk some French wine and took a shower which was a miracle especially for meJ It’s so amazing meet people like Ana! !

  1. omg, you had a lot of luck! cause French people are generally not so open and helpful for the strangers..but as we can see, there are some exceptions! :) and it's also true that they can speak only French...and even if they know English it's very hard to understand what they mean..and did you like this French wine? :)
