back in Germany

Last sunday we went to the SummerJazz festival to spend our last day in Leiden. The plan was to leave the next morning to go back to Prien. When we got back home from the festival we saw that the area around Prien am Chiemsee completely flooded was and both the highway and the railroads were closed down. Those aren't the most ideal circumstances to hitchhike so we stayed a few more days till saturday morning. The day started out with short rides and around 19:30 we weren't even close to Prien yet. Then we met a dutch trucker who took us 230ish km to Würzburg. When we were in the truck we thought "It would be really sweet if we can find an Austrian car that can take us all the way." Well that happened so at 2 AM we finally arrived in Prien. The flood is gone and there isn't much evidence left that there even was one. The next day the sun was shining so we could finally go swimming in the lake. In about 2 weeks we will go to Gothenburg in Sweden for about a week, then we're going to Budapest to meet up with a friend of Doris with whom we will hitchhike from Budapest through Czech, Poland, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia. It's gonna be one epic summer if all goes according to plan. I will leave my laptop here during those trips so I won't update that often I guess. Pictures and everything will be thrown on facebook as often as possible for your viewing pleasure. You can find it here: https://www.facebook.com/DrifterInEurope
