# We left the house at 3 pm. Thats definitively too late for that distance. Best time to leave is noon or even morning.
# 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 A2 (Germany) | Zweidorfer HolzHelmstedt on A2 (62a)]], which was the right choice, even though it meant going quite a few kilometers backwards. However from [[Braunschweig]] best way to head west is The [[Braunschweig#Zweidorfer Holz | Zweidorfer Holz]] which you can reach via bus.
# When we got a ride, we had a nice talk to the driver. 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 NOW?' 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!
# So we followed our drivers direction, got of around Hamm and decided to get back to A30. We got to''Tecklenburger Land'', just before [[A30 (Germany)]] but the problem was that next petrol station on 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.
