Our tour of Tours
Noel dropped us off near a toll station to help us avoid a police checkpoint. We were sad to bid goodbye to such a kind man, even if he did spend a large chunk of the journey angrily scolding his son over the phone!
We walked over to the toll booth, politely asked permission to hitch there, and promptly got picked up by a Brazilian trucker heading to Spain! So it looks like we will be over the border before the end of today. What luck!
