Okay.. we got out of Paris!!!! Amazing, it took us about 30 bus rides in different direktions and some good luck. We managed to hike to a city caled Bordeux (the wine capital of france) againg we had no place to sleep, so we made a nice sign from a old carton lying on the street, the sign said couchsurfer?? after about ten minutes we had a nice place to stay for several days with party and food included!!
So we had lots of time to search for some place to work, but it was not easy, all the internet sites were in french! Finally we stumbled over a page in english called apcon and after one phone call we had work for a week, not so long as we thought but soon we learned to apriciate the short time.

By this time we realized that if we should have a chance to arrive in belleville, villie morgon in time we had to leave now, so thats what we did. we started with getting about 150 km the first day, with about 60 left to go the second day and a margin of one day before we had to be there, luckily we met this spanish couple going to germany and they`d pass lyon pretty close to where we wanted to go, so we ended up in chalon about 60 miles from belleville.
The day after (in this case sunday) we woke up by fireman posing outside our tent :/ and realized that we were supposed top be at the farmer that day, and start working tomorrow, so after about 10 minutes this nice lady picked us up and drove us about 15km, but that was far from long enough, and we started hitchiking again at an (almost) deserted gas-station at the national road between chalon and lyon.
After 2 hours out there we our positive point of view started to crack and about then a man picked us up and told us that we could go to Macon with him, fine thats still about 30km to short but it`s better than nothing, after a while socializing he suddenly told us that he would drive us to the farmer, and, so he did, and it was wonderful, but when we arrived we fell to sleep almost at once, exhausted bye the stress and to little to eat.
At dinner that night it was about 20 people and now we had another problem, what about some privacy??
Soon we realized that privacy wasn`t included in the farmers vocabular so we started talking to people instead, making new friends and having a nice time!
