Hitch-hiker's crossroads

Belgian hitch-hiker Freik, and another from
Freik had just quit his job a couple of days prior, and was trying to get to his mother's birthday party in Portugal. We talked a lot. Freik and me finally found a lift for Bordeaux after about 5 hours of waiting - a new record for the Belgian, who was getting frustrated. It yet again shows that sooner or later, someone will stop. Be persistent, stay positive. At this point there's no turning back.

The woman who picked us up was another Belgian, headed for Bordeaux airport. From the Dutch I was able to follow, she's going to Africa, and her plane was delayed. Now we're taking the longer scenic route to kill time. We're headed for the medieval town of Sarlat to have coffee. French countryside is nice.
