This very first part of my journey was good in testing that I was becoming ready for such a trip. Delays, long waits and bad weather made it interesting. That is what makes my mind even more sure about what I am doing.
Hitchhiking... I have almost forgotten how difficult it is to get out of big cities to the good spot for hitching a ride. London gave me several hours long lesson, that last time in Paris we were only lucky getting out in no time.
Trying to find the edge of Londons with an exit to motorway without a proper map of the city is a guessing quest. And by the time I finally found it, it was late and dark night when in England I take no chances to be lucky. Sо I rested on nearby golf-course-mattress.
Next day issue was hitching a ride over channel, which has forced me to buy an expensive ticket for ferry, which was not first time, but I hope last as a foot passenger.
Visiting Lille always reveals pleasant moments shared with Sarah, Bruno and kids... Improving my French reading skills when trying to read a short 'goodnight' fairytale to boys was very new experience and fun.
Heading further south east through Charleroi, Luxemburg, next morning I found myself in Bavarian capital - München. Leaving my overnight stay to pure chance I contacted friend Cheerko and asked him to post a message into local CouchSurfing group whether someone wanted to host me. I gave it couple of hours while resting in the park soft grass surfaces. And there I found the text message from Lina, who decided to accept my offer and so I accepted hers. Spent nice times around the city, having a great guide Lina, and also in her and Ilya's flat where I met lots of other couchsurfers as she was holding couchsurfers' session.
Despite the distance (1000km) from Munich to Krupina it took me other 30 hours to reach home and with rain and no-sleep it always becomes challenging task.
On the way to Krupina I spent few hours in our capital, just feed my hungry throat with bryndzove halusky and kill the thirst with nice pint of lager with very good friends Patrik and Ivan...
Home sweet home and my parents within were expecting me for last few days, and so my favourite Segedin was there waiting to fill my stomach.
Of course I love my mum and dad!
