Hitching to Frankfurt


We got paid 833 Marks and were living on 200 a month, saving the rest for our travels. We got another 3 days off and decided to cover the "romantic Road" - Frankfurt and Nuremberg. We got only Frankfurt and one city on the romantic road covered. This is because hitching took us so long. We need to perfect our method! At the moment we are so delighted when a car stops that we take the ride no matter how far they are going, but perhaps we should stick it out for a lift that is going all the way to our destination. So after various lifts we got to the Frankfurt train station. We had had our first two rides with truck drivers, one Italian going to Dartmouth, U.K., another Belgium going to Turkey from Antwerp, his cargo was Turkeys! From the station we had to take an underground to the airport where the Sheraton is situated, as we had arranged to stay for free at their Sheraton. A perk of the job, free stays in other Sheratons!
