Reports
During my travels, I received free accommodation for a night in exchange for writing a daily travel diary. This diary documented how I reached my next destination, the hosts who welcomed me, the food I was offered, and other experiences along the way. Below, you will find the archives of these extensive reports. Please note that English is not my native language, and most entries were written quickly, often around midnight. Enjoy!Tuesday, 18 March 2003
--> Grande Prairie, AB, Canada (day 2)
I think it is very good that I have days where I can spent most of the time at my hosts place or at their office, like today, and work out previous reports.
And I'll be totally ready for my next leg of travels. I have found out that I now don't have to rush reports out of my head, but can take all time possible when I have a extra day at the same place.
Just like today. So expect the big load tomorrow again as I will be hitchhiking the 770km from Grande Prairie, Alberta, to Hay River, North Western Territories! Web information tells me it is some 11 hours driving... Hmmm, will I make that in one day?
