<\/a>The spot really was good.<\/p>\n I got a ride very quickly. One thing I didn\u2019t notice, though was that the station I would be dropped off was just outside the road.<\/p>\n I asked a few cars, as after a short while a lady from the station told me it was a bad idea. The traffic was mostly local, I should go outside the station. She gave me a cardboard, told me to write \u201cVannes s.v.p\u201d, with a smiley face, and said \u201cgood luck\u201d.<\/p>\n The traffic was still mostly local. I was in a bad spot. After some time, an old couple stopped and told me \u201cgo to the road directly\u201d, I said that wasn\u2019t allowed, and they replied \u201cyou certainly won\u2019t get a ride here\u201d…<\/p>\n So the drove me to the entrance of the road and said \u201cgood luck\u201d. I wasn\u2019t nervous<\/a>, but I knew I had to get out of there quick.<\/p>\n Luckily, in some 15 minutes I got a ride. I asked to be dropped off in a station in the road this time.<\/p>\n Once I got to the station, I started writing \u201cQuimper s.v.p\u201d (with a smiley face) on the other side of the cardboard and a nice couple offered me a ride. I hadn\u2019t even finished writing on the cardboard.<\/p>\n They let me in a \u201ccovoiturage\u201d spot. It\u2019s just a parking spot near the road. It took the same time to get a ride. A guy offered to drop me off in a good roundabout. I said I had run out of cardboard, and the just happened to have a box in the backseat. I cut myself a piece off the board and he dropped me off.<\/p>\n I hadn\u2019t finished writing on the board for the second time and got offered a ride, but it was too close, so I decided to wait longer. Once I finished writing Audierne (actually I wanted to go to Pont-Croix, but they\u2019re only some 10 km apart) I got offered another ride. It was closer but not quite there. In a minute or two I got offered another ride, directly to Pont-Croix, with a nice family with two little boys.<\/p>\n What have I learned from this? Once in the road, don\u2019t leave it! Also that people in Brittany are really really nice, and that you might not have time to write your destination in the board.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On June 18, 2014, after spending the night in Nantes I left early towards Finistere.
