Well I didn't make it to Italy. I've met another hitchhiker by the highway and we had a nice picknick in the sun and then decided to travel together for a while. She was going to some friends for 2 days, and I could tag along. The family that hosted me is great and they welcomed me with open arms, telling me that I'm always welcome if I'm in the area in the future. The girl I met is awesome and we're probably going to travel together for a while. Next stop is back to Germany, to her place and from there we'll see. The sun is shining again, it's going to be a good day
