'''Quickest pick-up:''' In Luxembourg we stopped at a motorway services on the E25 towards Metz, used the toilets, approached a trucker leaving the restaurant, who offered to run us to Spain. We were in the building less than five minutes.
'''Longest pick-up''' Spent the entire day on the roadside north of Barcelona trying to get back to France. The traffic was too fast and wouldn't stop. I got bad sunburn, and when we got a lift back to Barcelona we slept the night in the park next to Sants station, where my bag was stolen. Fortunately I found it on the edge of the park, with everything present except a bottle of gin and 5€ from one of the pockets. Useful tip: keep your wallet and passport in your sleeping bag when sleeping rough. Eventually we took the train to Perpignan and hitched from there.
