On the Hippie Trail: Europe
recommended resolution: 800x600
Germany was a hitchhiker's paradise at the time (1967). So, I hitchhiked from
my home town in The Netherlands to Munich in the south of Germany.
This grandchild of
the famous Orient
Express took
me in two days from Munich to Istanbul via Austria, Yugoslavia and
Bulgaria.
The station of Pythion, a small village in Greece. The railway track
between the Bulgarian-Turkish border and Istanbul traversed a tiny
strip of Greek territory (probably a remnant of the Balkan wars in the
early
twentieth century). Pythion was - God knows why - a regular stop for
international trains.
