On today’s hitchhiking adventure I met a fellow rabbit 🐰
Her name was Glücksi and I was lucky to have met her on my 4th ride towards Berlin.
Let’s start at the beginning.
My loving, caring and absolutely wonderful grandmother got me on the highway, setting me up for a successful hitch. Although she still needs some warming up to the concept of hitchhiking (strangers and cities are dangerous) she loves to hear the stories I’m able to tell when I return.
She won’t be happy when I tell her that my first rider was telling me he’d be right back after getting a beer at the gas station, which he intended to drink behind the wheel. Since it was the first I witnessed I was okay with that.
(Eins ist keins)
We had a loose yet insightful conversation talking bout love, drugs and music.
The 1.5hrs we spent together went by in a heartbeat and we might welcome another nostrich soon.
Next people I met was Gary, like the snail from SpongeBob,
(**that‘s how he introduced himself to me**)
and his wife Lisa. They were driving two cars into the same direction, so they had plenty of space for me and my backpack.
Gary works as a freelance mechanic for professional motorsports teams.
(Like the guys who change the tires at pit stops in F1)
His love for motorsport could not be fully matched by the Renault Twingo rental that we drove, but we gave our best to test the rev limiter.
Fun ride, good techno.
Hope they enjoy their in-laws birthday.
Dropped me off behind Hannover.
Here I met Mario and his Daughter Hanna at a Charging Station.
They drove a fancy looking Hyundai Ionos with cameras instead of rear view mirrors. I felt like a fucking president sitting in the back getting some fries as a snack along the way. This is also where I met Glücksi and an Ara parrot that hadn’t been named yet.
Dropping me off right before Magdeburg, so they could head south towards Leipzig to visit the Grandparents.
It was dark already and the gas station was pretty quiet, but I was too close to Berlin now to give up.
And after three people who were going, but wouldn’t take me, I found Robert and Christoph, two poles who went back towards Stettin after looking at a crane that is used to load and unload ships. Apparently they solve the logistics for the biggest polish ports.
They were kind enough to drop me at a train station close to the highway that goes around the city.
And from there I just had a 20 min train ride left to arrive
