One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

October 2009 I decided to follow two friends that would make a bike trip in next day from the border of Germany to Prague (Czech Republic), about 160km (if we wouldn't get lost sometimes). The first night we slept on the street, on the second night a police officer let us sleep a few hours in the waiting room of the squad (until his boss kick us out to the rain) and the rest of the night in a train station where someone stole my backpack with all my documents, clothes, mobile phone, etc.. It was missing 20km to Prague, but we had to go back to Dresden (where we were all living at the time)!... It was a bit hard to get some ID to go home (Portugal) for Christmas, but i had met some great friends that made the difference and made every hard moment turn to a great one! If someone ask me if i would do it again? Absolutely!! Besides the end and sleeping in the cold street, it was the most AMAZING trip of my life!!
