MOVING/ ROADTRIP to a new COUNTRY 🧳 📦 🚗 Part 4 from 11~ a bit further 🇳🇱 🇩🇪 🗺️

in Photography Lovers9 months ago

Hi all 👋🏻

Let’s update you on PART 4 from 11 today, our adventure to our new home 🏡 and country 🗺️

These 11 parts will be about our move “driving” ourselves to our new COUNTRY 😊 of residence. Some parts will include some subtle hints, via text or photo 😅😉 so pay attention and see if you can guess where we are heading for!

If you missed part 1, have a look here: The ferry crossing ⛴️🌊 part 1, Ireland to France
For part 2, have a look here: Mainland Europe ~ France 🇫🇷 part 2
For part 3, have a look here: Part 3, France, Belgium ~ MAINLAND EUROPE 🗺️

Are you ready to come along again and find out everything from this epic adventure?

Today’s selection will be of 59 photographs.
Date: 1 February 2024
The Photographs in this post are all taken with my iPhone by me 📱🤓

LETS START NOW!

As I did in the last 3 parts to know how many kilometres we will drive in total. I take again a photo from the dashboard and will do so every part of the journey.

We start today at : 127.599 km

It’s a bit more than with what we ended in our part 3. I have been visiting friends and family in The Netherlands 🇳🇱 for a few days and will not include those km’s driven in our grand total 😎

We saw in the Netherlands windmills, cathedrals and interesting buildings, while taking a break from… driving. Are we really? 😂😂 we are still driving to friends and family… lol

Our journey start today in The Netherlands 🇳🇱 and we will drive further along our route.
Where do we go next…? my detour will go onto our original route 🗺️ further now.

The morning starts hazy and I see a church in the distance.

Driving through villages in The Netherlands 🇳🇱 we see more windmills 😎

I had to post some letters on route at a post office 🏤 ✉️📮 so we stopped for a short time. I walked past a flower shop and couldn’t go by without taking some photos of the spring flowers 🌷

Beautiful 😍 I can’t buy some as the car is too full hahaha 🤣

We drive further and I take some photos of interesting signs 🪧
Wild life can cross, so be careful 😎 it’s a cool sign I must say and new for me. They looked differently when I lived in Dutchyland.

For the southerners of the Netherlands… it is #CARNAVAL soon, so you see the carnival colours everywhere 🎉🎈🤡 do you see it?

Red, yellow and green ❤️💛💚

Now we gone through some small villages we hit the motorway 🛣️

Following the signs northbound 😉

For most of the day, the speed you can drive is limited to max 100km/h to provide better flow in this small country 🚗🚗🚙🚙🚕🚌🚐🚛🚚

I saw this interesting art work next to a bridge 😊

Going off route again for 10 minutes to drop something off at a friends work, next to Eindhoven, I saw this statue 😎

Let’s zoom in a bit 😎

Such a cool work of art, don’t you think?

Back to the motorway 🛣️ and off we gooooooo 😁

The roads are easy to drive around this time. Not many traffic jams luckily… it is almost 12:00h now.

The sky is busy… so many lines… 🤔

Haha do you see the tractor on the roof of the building?

In the Netherlands we have many bridges over busy roads just for the local wildlife. They can cross that way safely… it’s planted on with plants and grass…

Not sure if this was one of those bridges… but you notice them around.

We cross some cool bridges ourselves too. We are still in the Netherlands 🇳🇱 here.

It’s a large one.

Following Arnhem now…

Some more cool #artworks next to bridges.

And along the roads 🤓 the form changed as we drove past.

Hubby is driving all day today as I had some trouble with my back. So the photos are taken by me today 😎
I see Arnhem in the distance going over another bridge.

Traffic is getting more busy too now.
Beautiful view from here 😊

And the sign we follow next… 🚗🚗 vroom vroom…

More windmills here and large farmhouses.

Some birds flew over, I just capture them in time 🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛

We are off the motorway now.
A stunning windmill 😎

The cloudy sky makes for a lovely photo 😊 my favourite photo of the day!
If you look very closely… those 3 sheep 🐑 in front of the windmill are no sheep… but large rocks with black parts attached to them. Very funny 🤣

We drive and drive…

I see some more signs for the CARNAVAL, it doesn’t go much further into the Netherlands… as it is celebrated mostly in the southern parts of the country.

If you look closely you see a bird of prey in the tree top. I was too late with zooming in…

Where do we go next?

Hhhmmmm the roads are changing as does the landscape 😎

Do you see what I see?

We are crossing into our next country 🤓

Now we are in #Germany 🇩🇪

So far we have driven in Ireland 🇮🇪, France 🇫🇷, Belgium 🇧🇪, The Netherlands 🇳🇱 and now we reached Germany 🇩🇪
5 countries in this road trip so far 😁 awesome!

Let’s continue… as we haven’t reach our next accommodation yet. 🚗🚗🚗🚗

The road signs are so different.

The roads are luckily very smooth…
It is rather #interesting driving in Germany 🇩🇪
For those that have driven in Germany know 😉
One can drive really fast there. If you try to take over a truck with 120 km/ h you have to be careful not to be hit by a much faster car in the back… that drives closer to 160 km / h or + hahaha 🤣 just crazy sometimes. It’s like standing still on the road when they pass by even if you are going 120 km/h.
We have a car fully loaded and are therefore heavy so the car can’t pull up fast… lol

Trucks passing by each other sometimes too…

We are entering some longggg roadwork 🚧 here…

It seemed to go on for ever 🤔

Crossing some more cool bridges.

Finally we are off the motorway and back to the inland routes… my favourite roads to drive 🚗😎
Going through small villages. I see a mural on the left but had no time to catch it well.

Tree lined roads with birch 🌳

Cross roads… let’s go left 😊

We are almost there… a few more towns and forests to go though.

Different kind of windmills now 🤓

They are everywhere we are driving towards now.

And we reach our next accommodation for the night.
We have a living room… kitchen…

Bedroom and a bathroom.

It’s so cute… the owners changed their basement into a living accommodation and rent it out.
Some beautiful details all around 😊
Also… sadly the internet or mobile reception was not enough here to upload any photos so I had to wait a few days. Until I could update you more again.

So let’s look at how far we have driven in this part.
The meter says : 127.911 km

What means we have driven 312 km along the road🚗…
Adding the first total we get : 2,053 km in 5 days 😉

The route (ish) we took, we went closer to Enschede 🇳🇱 and avoided most of Germany as the roads would have been very busy around Düsseldorf especially now they are changing bridges there.

I hope you enjoyed coming along for this part and the previous parts crossing 🇮🇪🇫🇷🇧🇪🇳🇱into 🇩🇪. Stick around to see what will happen in part 5 😁

Join me again… 👋🏻😊 as it will get even more adventures as we go along 🗺️

… and that’s all for today’s post my friends.
Join me next time for more #updates, #adventures, #stories and #photographs 😎👋🏻
Even my own #artworks, once in a while, will come by” 🎨
Thank you so much for looking, and reading.

Sort:  

I am not surprised by the poor network coverage at your accommodation, it is due to the basement, it can be strengthened though, maybe the landlord isn't prioritizing it. Nice the accommodation is close to wind turbines, I like those huge blades spinning, Gemany looks cool and that road sign in the Netherlands is rather interesting.

Yep, I thought of that too. But even the mobile reception outside was almost not existing.
Those wind mills do make for some cool photography
Thanks for coming along Joe

I hope you are resting well.
Have a great Sunday 👋🏻😊

So it is more of a location problem than the basement.

A lovely Sunday to you Jackie

I guess it was.

Thank you kindly Joe 👋🏻😊

Lots of flat land indeed. We didn’t have time for the carnaval. It is over 4 weeks and I never liked it hahaha 🤣 so we move on…
We are making progress 😎 happy to share and that you came along.

Fun photos from the road. I think the next day is Germany again. Such a big country for Europe. Then it gets interesting 🤔 maybe north to Denmark? or on to Poland? Maybe Czech? I will wait until next stop to guess 🙂

Thank you @steven-patrick
Yes, a large country with so much to see and discover.
Hhhmmmm we shall see 😇😁
Have a great Friday!

What an exciting trip you guys are having 😁
Those stripes you saw in the air, are chemtrails for whatever reason they want to spray. Mostly it's about geoengineering. There are weeks, sometimes even months without a clear blue sky.

Anyway enjoy the journey 😁

Thank you so much @timothyleecress 😊 we are loving it.
I thought they could be chemtrails… crazy that they think it is all needed.

Will do for sure. Thanks!
Have a great day.

Wow! Your all pictures are so perfect... Netherland city looks so beautiful and clean.

I love windmill road 😍
Thanks for sharing this interesting journey 😀

Thank you so much @mysteriousroad 😊 much appreciated!
We loved driving through the Netherlands.

The windmills are special. I am happy you liked them.
Have a great end of this week!

I am always fascinated with wind mill roads ...also love road journeys...love to visit your post 😀

Me too, it changes the views.
Road trips are the best thing.

Good afternoon dear friend @littlebee4
How great that you took advantage of the fact that you were in the Netherlands to visit your loved ones and friends, what always caught my attention is the architecture so particular to that area of the world, the windmills were always my admiration
I like how they decorate the streets with colorful fabrics reminiscent of carnival parties, that peculiar statue, I couldn't define what type of animal it is, and the structures of their bridges, not to mention the good maintenance and perfect condition of the routes.
The entrance to Germany looks very nice, and I loved the place they chose to stay
Thank you very much for sharing the story of the trip.
Have a very beautiful afternoon

Good morning dear friend @jlufer 👋🏻😊
It’s great to see family and friends. They can’t always come and visit me. So when I come close on my travels, I go by 😎
The architecture is very distinct in this part of the world.
One can guess the countries almost by just looking at photos.

The animal could be a goat 🐐 I think…
Happy I could share this part with you 😊
Have a beautiful day!

Thank you so much @ladiesofhive 👋🏻😊

I loved the photo of the daffodils and hyacinths in the vase! I'm always full of energy when I start seeing these signs of spring everywhere! It's so nice to see nature gently awakening from its long winter sleep. Yesterday, I was supposed to go to Torres Vedras to celebrate Carnival, which was celebrating its 100th anniversary, but with storm Karlotta battering coastal Portugal, I didn't want to risk getting too wet and possibly catching the flu. I'm sure there will be more opportunities to celebrate the departure of the harsher weather.
How's your back today, I hope it's improved and you're feeling more comfortable.

Have a great week!

It was so great to see some spring flowers turn up… one knows it is heading towards spring soon. One of my favourite seasons 😊
I think I would have done the same. With such a storm… staying at home is best. There will be many more opportunities to celebrate I am sure 😎
Luckily it is improving… but won’t heal as my back is damaged for ever. I just need to be careful with what I do. Luckily I know throughout the years what I can and can’t do.
One of the reasons that we don’t drive to long and far each journey. I can drive some days up to 1,5 hours others I just barely make 2 hours 🚗🚗 about 4 hours in a car is maximum for me.
Tomorrow will be an easy drive, much shorter to the next accommodation. We do need to load the car up again hahaha 🤣
Have a great day and enjoy your week 👋🏻

I do love traveling along with you! It's been years since I was last in Holland and Germany. Your photos brought back many memories!

Thank you @melinda010100 😊 it’s such a great experience, especially driving through the unknown areas.
So far we have been almost only driving.
I am now in an accommodation where we stay until Tuesday before we drive further.
So finally a rest and time to explore a bit. 😁

Great it brought back many memories.
Have a lovely Friday!

Are you driving on the British side of the car in Europe?

Yep, our car has the steering wheel on the wrong side.
It took me a while to get used to it. Especially as the car is fully packed to the roof. So over taking a truck etc. is rather difficult hahaha 🤣 as no proper visual.

I never got used to driving with it in Scotland or Ireland (our last 2 locations)…
So I am glad I am back on the normal (for me) side… even though steering wheel is wrong for now. It is still much better. !LOL
We will change the car in a couple of months

Lol at least parallel parking should be easier. (Maybe)

Maybe, haven’t tried or needed it yet.
Have a lovely weekend 👋🏻😊

!ALIVE

I did, an easy country to drive through and the one I grew upon. I spend 28 years of my life there.
We visited family and friends too.
It was nice.
Thank you, me too. It’s special.
Have a great Monday 👋🏻😊
!PIZZA

I'm glad this trip gave you the opportunity to visit family and friends along the way, @littlebee4! I can imagine how special it must have been to drive through the country that you grew up in👍!!

Thank you @jacoalberts 😊 it surely was.
Although Germany was my base before the Netherlands.

That's interesting! I have always had a soft spot for Germany. Maybe because my family is of German origin...but that goes back several generations though.

My mother is German so my origin is a bit closer. It was also my first language I learned. At 6 years old we moved to the Netherlands.

Oh wow! That's awesome! Yes, that is quite a bit closer!

Thanks 😁

Exactly. I didn't understand this concept before. Actually my kids introduced me to the world of "made limonada with my lemons" when Im started to have problems to walk and must stop driving. I got boring on the seat of a car, often with my long face. Then my daughter gift me a little camera and show me how to really see the world and circumstances if you know what I mean.

Oh that’s wonderful to hear.
One sees suddenly so much more. I exactly know what you mean.
Have a nice weekend 😊

For sure!
