crazy hich hiking trip to Koln (Coloyn) Germany!

So on monday morning I got up like a normal day off, went running and took a shower. While I ate breakfast I had a good chat with Carmi (south african newzelander) and we decided to use our two days off to hitch hike to Koln Germany. Also to see Katrina an old staff member who was going through a bit of a rough time in her exchange program study. We called up Coen (who is known as one of the hich hiking experts in our comunity) and he was up for teaching us. We headed out after Coen's morning shift, we biked/walked to the first highway petrol station and began to ask people who were tanking up where they were going and if we could get a ride with them. We met alot of intresting people and it took nine rides in six hours to get to Koln.
Katrina freaked out when she saw us camped out in the Dom square. It was a sweet reunion. We hung out and spent the night, we read the bible together and after an awesome breakfast of fresh breads and (carmi and coens beer) we got a chance to pray for Katrina! I was so glad that we could encourage her just by our presence.
Katrina had a packed schedual so we walked through town on our own and headed home. It took us 3 hours in the rain of walking from the centre and holding out our thumb till we got on the highway. From there it was rather breazy only taking about 4 rides in all to get home. We decided to stop in Utrecht to stay at Coens sisters place. It was cool we had a good time chilling. The next morning his sister bought us train tickets and we rushed to Amsterdam, I biked straight to work ariving just on time for my cleaner supervisor shift.
What a great adventure!
