The best thing about Japan was finding an abandoned love hotel, the stories told by various drivers and an unexpected dinner with a family from Nagano.

I’ve never been so unaware of a country I’m traveling to. Sushi and sumo wrestling. But what else is there?

I was first greeted by a strictly religious dentist, who suggested me a good spot to hitchhike after giving me an unopened bible followed big a wet kiss on my cheek. Let’s say that I preferred the cold beer that I got offered the day before. 

After a refreshing swim and my third ride for the day I made it to Kavala just before sunset, this felt like a small victory because I didn’t have an accommodation yet.
