Driving road trip
Comparing self-driving vs using public transport, self-driving is really flexible. You have the chance to stop at any sights or do a last minute detours. These benefits might not seems particularly important until the ah-ha moment came. Some people treasure these ah-ha moment more, some people (who is more regimental) will find it a distractions.
Everyone is different.
It's your journey, walk your own path.
I missed Boon.
Some of the tips for self-driving:
1. Autobahn has no speed limit. It's important not to speed. Speeding will reduce one's reaction time to unanticipated events and likely the cause of accidents. It's a holiday, no point ruin the trip by taking unnecessary risks. Pace yourself and enjoy the drive.
2. Water is clean and ok to drink. Typically, we will still buy the mineral water from supermart - those 5L bottles and put it at the back of the car. When our smaller 1L or personal water bottle is empty, then we just fill up from these 5L bottles. If we are in hotel with executive room, we just pop into the lounge and get more.
3. In order to stay alerts, 2 tips. One is to buy some nuts eg. walnuts and munch on the way. Your topo partner would have to feed you because your eyes is always on the road. Secondly, ask your topo partner to remind you to take rest stop. Maximum continuous drive time should be 2 hours. Once you hit 1.5hours of driving, start to look out for rest stop. Frequently, I find that these rest stop also constitute part of my enjoyable journey. It's fun to just relax and look around or just stretching.
Everything is interesting!
