Postcard 7: We bearly made it out alive!

Dear everyone,

We had hitchhiked through Germany, Poland, Slovakia, Hungary and Romania and after sixteen days we had finally arrived at Bulgarian border. While the Polish people were very rude and even hostile towards us, the Bulgarians welcomed us with open arms. At the border we feared the Bulgarians were evenly hostile as the Polish had been, but when we were eventually admitted into the country they proved to be very friendly and generous. We hitchhiked a great distance until we were dropped of somewhere in the middle of nowhere. Here we tried to hitch another ride, but after two hours the first thing we saw was a car with a bear in the backseat. We didn’t know when another car was coming our way, so we tried our luck with this one. I got in the front of the car next to the driver and therefore Rachid had to sit next to the bear.

Six hours later we finally arrived at Nesebor where we quickly got out the car. We thanked the driver, his bear and especially God for arriving at our destination in one piece!!
