“***6 HOURS WAITING*** (Boy and girl) We spent the night in the gas station because we arrived really late and we didn't want to hitchhike at night so we decided to continue the next day. Early in the morning 7:30AM we started to hitchhike in the exit of the gas station with a panel Slovenia, no one stopped for 4hours waiting so we decided to move to the exit of the restaurant first we started to”
