26th day

Going to Amsterdam!
It seemed easy to hitchhiking from Cologne to Amsterdam... but it is not! We spent almost all day on the road again, asking and asking and asking... Getting outside the city was already difficult enough, first walking to city center, then S-Bahn and finally one bus (sorry Germany but we didn't pay for public transports there...too expensive =p). Finally we found some couple who agreed to take us outside the town after one hour, which was perfect for us - lunch time. We ended up in a gas station next to Germany-Belgium border, where it was really hard to find someone going to our direction. So we were stuck there for two hours. One nice truck driver felt bad for two homeless travelers and started giving us food: tomatoes, bread, watermelon, almonds and even salt to season the food =D Thank you so much! You kept our spirit up!


Finally one nice Dutch couple saved us and suprised us with another amazing moment on our trip - we were drinking champagne while driving to Neitherlands! Finally it took us 3 cars,  about 9 hours and 300 km to reach Amsterdam. But we did it!
Amsteerrddaaammmm!


We are staying with the cute Dutch couple we met in Split (Tim & Angie). Tim welcomed us with delicious dinner and then we had an interesting tour in Red Lights Street (Hugo's favourite part of the trip) - amazing open minded place. We even rided  a bike back home...better saying: Hugo was riding and Liis chilling in the back =p Much more to explore tomorrow :)
