Leipzig/Erfurt

We made our way to Leipzig and I decided to check into the engine light issue as it was getting Julie nervous. My assumptions were right, the coolant was low. It turns out the outdoor store carried everything but engine coolant, so when we left for Leipzig our first stop was a gas station along the highway. While I gassed up, Julie went off to search for the bathrooms and a young lady approached me. Turns out she was from Poland and she and her friend were looking for a ride to Frankfurt. Unfortunately we couldn’t help them but we did end up giving a lift to 3 guys around our age to other gas stations along the way. We should have asked for money, but didn’t. The guys were from Poland too. Finding a decent parking spot in Leipzig proved to be difficult and while driving around the city, we determined it wasn’t worth a stop for us. It was late in the afternoon, so we decided to drive to our free camping spot for the night, in Erfurt.

I love that about Europe. The people you meet along the way. Most of them looking for free rides though.... bloody travellers!
