    Hitchhiking in the Netherlands is not really an option if you want to get anywhere within reasonable time. Dutch people aren't very keen on taking hitchhikers along and I haven't quite figured out why. I'm not sure if it is because the hitchhiker gets a ride for free or whether they consider all hitchhikers to be bloodsucking murderers. To avoid long hours of wating along the highway just a few miles from my home, I took a train to Venlo, which is about 150 kilometres from The Hague at the Dutch-German border. German people are great when it comes to hitchhiking and they hardly hesitate to take you where you want to go.
