Hi!
Just wanna tell you my second attempt to hitchhike from the place I tried the weekend before worked. I waited for about an hour (which is not long I think considering it was a Saturday and a holiday here in this part of Germany and the spot isn't so great for hitching). A guy coming from the McDonald's waved me to his car. He said he hasn't picked up someone for years but hitched in the past, too. And that he was about to drive into the town of Cologne which was perfect since my destination was the central train station. Had a very nice ride in a quite new BMW, smoking was allowed and we had a nice conversation about cars, his vacation in Alaska a few years ago and my trip to UK. In the end he spend some time looking for a bus stop for me to get to the central station without walking too much. So my first hitchhiking experience was great!
