[[Belgium]], [[France]]
==The stats==
''Longest lift:'' I think it's '''352km''', through Germany from [[Inntal Ost]] ([[A93_Germany|A93]] services) to [[Pforzheim Nord]] ([[A8_Germany|A8]] services), September 2006 - and by the goodest good golly gosh were we grateful for it
''Furthest distance in 24 hours:'' '''1042km''', from [[Rome]], Italy, to [[Lausanne]], Switzerland, August 2006
''Most useful lift:'' Gabor the Hungarian, who picked us up at Pforzheim Nord and didn't care where he was going - he wanted to be a personal taxi service. So we got him to take us to a mate's house in [[Kelkheim]], 177km away. Although neither of us trusted him, and he tried to abduct my travelling partner, it was one hell of a useful lift
''Least useful lift:'' the Slovakian white van man who took us to the wrong side of [[Bratislava]], on the wrong motorway and facing in the wrong direction, making us fail the Bummit to Belgrade competition
''Most fun lift:'' after being stuck for 3 hours, a lift from Rennes to Paris. Spent 6 hours in a classic volkswagen van from '76 with a cool hippie girl driving through small villages and countryside
''Best scenery:'' the area around Cancale and St-Malo in France. Thanks to a very friendly doctor who droves us for more than one hour accros a coastline with beaches, clifs and oyster farms.
''Shortest time waiting:'' 30 seconds near the town of Beauvais, France
''Longest time waiting:'' 3 hours at Rennes, France
