Day 1-2, Berlin-Ptuj (Maribor)
Day 1,2, 1.8, Berlin-Munich-Villach-Ljubljana-Ptuj
I never started this late for my summer journey – I got up at 6 o’ clock and actually started to hitch-hike to Munich at 7.30 . 13 cars went to Munich, but all passed. Who stopped was the police banning me from the street 10 minutes before I decided to take the commuter train to a rest station on the Autobahn.
The hitch-hiking went pretty bad, I arrived in Munich at 8pm. Before I met 2 boys, who wanted to go south as well. Whether we tried to stop cars together or everyone by oneself – it seemed noone was in the mood take hitch-hikers.
From Munich, 2 cars later we were in Salzburg. There we split. I stood up all night and in the morning after desperately asking people, I went with two young Germans to Ljubljana to a toll station. Unfortunately the staff didn’t allow me to hitch on the street, so I had to go inside Ljubljana. Everyone who hitched before knows that getting out of cities is quite difficult. It took me about another 7 hours.
I went from one highway entrance to another – at the last one finally a business man stopped and took me near Ptuj, the oldest town in Slovenia.
At that time it was already twilight, so I just went down a way into the woods and pitched my tent.
