# We didn't agree about the starting point. On the one hand we wanted to try the highway entrance next to the house, on the other hand it was to late for experiments. After an hour or two we got to The [[Braunschweig | Zweidorfer Holz]] would have been , which was the right choice, even though it meant going quite a few kilometers backwards.# We When we got a ride, we had a nice talk to the driver. When he Even though we were paying attention to the road, sign with a name of our destination petrol station passed behind a huge truck, unseen. Luckily just few km afterwards was next station. We started hesitating if should get off (bifurcation where we were supposed to separate was approaching!) or stay (not sure if really missed our station), when the driver asked,'do you want to leave hereNOW?' while passing Auetal we didnt manage to say 'yes'on time, which would have been so easy! So whenever you are in doubt of leaving or not, leave! Don't get distracted!# In So we followed our drivers direction, got of around Hamm and decided to get back to A30. We got to''Tecklenburger Land'' we tried to change to , just before [[A30 (Germany)]] which but the problem was very hard as the that next petrol station is about 100 km awayon our way would be already in Holland. One possibility could have been to go east to ''Groenegau'' or even ''Auetal'' (which would have not been that good either) and change direction there. But it was late already. So we spent the night there at the toilet foyer which was not that comfortable at all.# In the morning we decided to go to north (as that's where most of cars was going) to at least get away from there. Unfortunately there was a misunderstanding, so we didnt communicate enough with driver to realise that he wasnt going to Oldenburg, but to Bremen. So when we already passed ''Dammer Berge'' (where we should have gone out) we understood that he told us about was going to [[Bremen]] not changing to [[A29 (Germany)]]. Finally we stood on the lane between [[A1 (Germany)]] and [[A29 (Germany)]] with a sign saying '20 km', with completely wet shoes and in a fog making s invisible. Talk to drivers very clearly, ask them for their exact way and if they don't know arrange a way that fits all.# After a while we hitched to nearest gas station:''Huntetal'' , planning to go west to Groningen next and then all the way down to A'dam. It was quite dead and took us 2 hours till we realized we should go back south again to change to A30. Most of the people just went north to [[Wilhemshaven]], so changing to [[A28 (Germany)]] was a bad idea. Put a big black cross there on your map to avoid going there accidentlyaccidentally!# So we went back south and we ended up 20 km from the station we woke up that morning, but 6 hours later (even on foot would be faster!) From there it was not problem easy to go to hollandHolland. But All was going more than fine when we did another little mistake , which took us another hour. When we were about 40 kilometers before [[Amsterdam]] having dumpster meal sitting with a sign at the station exit a nice man stopped to pick us up: "Amsterdam? Jump in! I don't go till there, but on the way to A'dam, from there you will have only 20km left. " We had nice talk but he just went to cyrcle made a circle around [[Amsterdam]] and after more than hour in the car and making next 100km, we got to [[Leiden]]- which was 20km from A'dam. At the end we just made 10 20 km towards our aim. Always be sure to have a benefit of the way you go and talk clearly to drivers to avoid bad surprises. We got next ride easily and got off in front of our [http://www.casarobino.org final destination]
