Heading east 1961-1963
Three times I hitchhiked with my buddy Rob, from the Netherlands through the Balkans, heading east. We made it to Thessaloniki, Greece, in 1961 (see picture). In 1962 we reached Istanbul, Turkey, and in 1963 we made it as far as Damascus, Syria. The following year, I continued solo - Rob had been drafted into the military.
