On June 15, 2014, after a few days in Brussels, I headed towards Paris.
I followed the directions in Hitchwiki and went to Drogenbos. But I walked all the way to the station instead of asking for a ride to the station.
This time I was more prepared, with a list of the good stations I could stop at on the way to Paris. After a while I got a ride on a van. It was two French guys from a rock band that had played in a festival near Brussels. They took me to a good station, Saint-Ghislain, close to Mons.
After some 15 minutes I got a ride directly to Paris with 2 women. That was much easier that the previous hhiking day.
In Paris they left me close to a Metro Station, it was easy to find myself. I still had no internet connection though.
