How far would you go to win a stage?
Do you know the story how the hedgehog outran the bunny? Exactly. So basically, we wait till everbody has started from the starting point; then we take a break, and then wait for everybody to finally arrive at the goal. Simple. Effective. 😉
(alternative strategy: Pick up paolo pony and you are the winning team no matter what, as the sun continues to shine out of your behind and never sets.)
What shouldn't be missing in your hitchhiking-backpack?
the monsters (especially current monster number 4). an iron.
Your Grandma's opinion:
Every cake you bake, every ride you make, you gotta eat up and call. And never get into foreign people's car! ...but yeah, she is not to be trusted either.
You are ...
... hardcore experienced hitchhiking professionals
How do you imagine your final arrival to Boracko Jezero?
One week before everybody else - but only with half of the team. Wait, somehow...!?!

Babka is busy and withdraws from the race this year. We will not be racing on the same route as our beloved hitchmates, but we still enjoy the perks and support the race. You craziers! Besides all the good stuff happens when you take a break.
... However, a little bit earlier, in a far-away spot on the black sea coast, one hithchiker takes the secret "Balkan route" and travels backwards in time and space to see the marvels of the region and arrive earlier than necessary. We are the social team: anybody who truly cannot make it to Germany in time (or needs to leave early) and wouldn't mind a solitary route is welcome to join. We have some goodies on the way. Mind to be expanded. Route details will be posted soon.

Crossing the Baba mountains seems like the right way to go. After being confused too serious amounts by how so little traffic can cause so much mayhem, I come to reap the benefits...

Looking at the budget and time I feel I may have to quit for good and head back. Last conclusive tomorrow. Meanwhile I made peace with the world under the moon, put on the superpower t-shirt and started "bending reality" (Mindvalley jargon) - thanks Bro! You are the best. Special credits go to the coming generation of hitchhikers.

After THE lunch, manifested a lovely lift, which got me half-way through. A second that fit me away fun the wrong place and to another which wasted the rest of the evening. I got stuck and called a taxi to rescue me across the border. It cost more than the day would have, but the contact. So worth it. Almost as witty as the talents from Triccala - those were some amazing people. Translators by chance, and heart.

Life changing day today. Beyond words. Monks used vinegar to soften limestone and drive stairs into the rock, then went up on stuff-bound ladders and henceforth depended on donations to survive, literally, then pulled up stuff for decades to build the 8th world wonder. - What have you done?

More mountains to hike or hitchhike up to! This is turning into the mountains tour. Number 7 it seems. ... The feeling of arriving at Meteora is really hard to describe. Somewhat of gold rush agitation and bliss.

This one goes to the brief company of my fellow hitchhikers, have a great trip! I think of your coming adventure as I sit in the light breeze, caused by the exchange of air between the air-conditioned Café and the somewhat hotter exterior world. A constant flow going to be wasted for the to of it. No borders, no AC.

Racing and catching the bus in a taxi...- this sentence does not seem to belong here. Babka takes happy hitchhikers off the road for a break.

Whoop whoop. More hitchhikers joining.^^ Babka-style. From White brotherhood to black leather loft. We survived the night in a very Satanist-looking 2-star hotel. WiFi: Russian dick. Pass: 00666666. Hm, Getting woken at night, by the sound of somebody being kicked and abducted at 3-4am under your window is just what it takes to keep you turning under the black Satin sheets. Ugh! Don't stay too cheap in Blagoevgrad.
