Hitchhiking - old new way of Travelling

5th day - Antwerp



In 20 minutes I got a first car, which brought me to the first service station going from Copenhagen to Germany. And after a couple of minutes I asked one Englishman for a ride, who was ready to help unless I murder him!

It turned out later that he was driving all way down to Belgium and even further to London. What an extraordinary young man with fundamental talents in Music (writes songs, plays a guitar and sings in the band - http://www.myspace.com/pylonline with tours all over the Europe) and Films (being a cameraman when making movies and adverts), and knowledge in history, geography and social issues of Europe. Yet, he was extremely easy-going and cool!

After 10 hours and 1000 km I was dropped of in front of the Central Railway station of Antwerpen at 23:00 and already missed the last train to Liege. So I had an opportunity to discover Antwerpen at night, go to Internet-cafe and occasionally meet on the street two Costa-Ricans who were waiting for the train to Paris. We took a couple of beers and enjoyed our company in one of the local pubs.

The end!
